OK, I spent some more time looking at this. In an empty document, I can
crash OOo by typing the following:
<tab><tab><space>
As soon as I press the space bar, OOo crashes.
Hmm, now that seems odd.
OK, found it. It was the Language Tool Spell checker add-on version 0.9.4. I
installed this while writing some articles for Linux Identity on OOo.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/languagetool
There is a note that claims that there is a bug in OOo that causes some
items to crash. The underlying API in OOo is new and to my knowledge, still
under development. I know for certain (meaning I was told by developers)
that it was not yet finished when the 3.0 code was frozen.
Wow!
I tried out your <crash_ooo.odt> with OOo 3.0.0 [OOO300m9 Build 9358] /
WinXP / LanguageTool 0.9.5.
OOo didn't crash and my results are documented in
<crash_ooo_annotated.odt> [209 KB]
-> <http://cjoint.com/data/ltxyzLvUqG.htm>
As far as I know, the grammar check function should work fine with
OOo 3.0.1.

Excellent, so they have a fix or workaround in the latest language tool.
This does not surprise me. The people responsible for LanguageTool are
pretty pro-active. I installed the latest version, and it did not crash.
Very nice!
I am surprised that the auto-update stuff did not tell me that a new
version was available.
