If you open AndrewMacro.odt in OOo 3.3 and then close the document, OOo
will crash. This is because there are more than 32K (or is that 64K)

believe (or at least the dev versions that I have run contain the fix).
Can you explain "more than 32K style changes in the document" in more
detail?
I don't remember ever having OOo crash because I was using too many styles.
Even in those documents that contained text in a hundred different
languages, and a dozen paragraph styles for each language.
IOW, text that used more than 1,000 paragraph styles, in addition to
umpteen hundred (¿500?) character styles, 30+ page styles, 100+ list
styles, and ten frame styles.
OOo was stable.
Saving the document to MS Word format, and then opening it with MSO on
Windows is a different story. It is trivial to create documents with OOo
on Windows, that when opened with MSO on Windows will cause an instant
Blue Screen of Death.

You really need to work at it to exceed the number of supported styles.
With 30 pages, you probably require 1000 to 2000 changes per page. With
500 pages, you require you still require like 60 to 120 changes per
page. OK, it is 2^16 items in the sfx item pool that causes the problem.
This is the bug report I opened in 2008.

Seems that I was not the first to find the bug and report it.... This
was posted in 2007
This contains the technical details and provides the fix (available in 3.4)

If you want to see the bug in action, download AndrewMacro.odt as
referenced below (save all your data first, in fact, I would close all
your other documents). After loading my document, well, just close it
and watch OOo Crash. Note that OOo will run just fine with its current
size of 535 pages until you do close it, however.
