If it ever gets fixed there, it will probably make it into the LibO code some day. Unforunately, there are no "Base-specialised" developers on the LibO project as far as I know at the moment, which means that any changes or bug fixes are basically dependent on the people at Oracle fixing them in the OOo code. As even there things appear to be running on very limited resources, it looks to me at the moment as if the Base module in general, both within OOo and even more so in LibO, has hit a kind of brick wall. There also a few developers within LibO who believe that database functionality is not a requirement for an office suite such as LibO. It seemed obvious to me that similar thinking was present at one time within Sun management before an opinion poll was carried out amongst users by Sun and it became apparent that people did indeed want improved database functionality in the office suite. That was when Base version 2, as it stands in its present incarnation, was born. Having recently exchanged e-mails with Fred Toussi, one of the devs from HSQLDB, there are some interesting things planned for OOo with the future integration of HSQLDB v2, which should improve both performance and function outreach for the built-in databases (which will not be without consequences for dbs based on the former 1.8.x versions though). However, the LibO project appears more focussed on reducing Java dependencies in general, and hence in the long term, HSQLDB might well disappear from LibO. The question to be asked of the LibO developers is "when" rather than "why", but probably not until a replacement can be found (if at all).
