Hi Matthew and all,
I experienced the same problem here and found out where this came from:

The culprit was the stupid Samsung SCX-4200 (printer+scanner) installer,
which does a lot of ugly things (renaming the soffice.bin file to
soffice.bin.bin and making the original file a wrapper which then calls
soffice.bin.bin setuid root). Doing such things is completely
irresponsible! I'll write an email to Samsung soon and encourage
everyone experiencing this problem to do so.

Cheers,
Nico
