Thanks for the good suggestions. I haven't tried them yet, but what I have done is open the original unedited document and continue with my editing from the paragraphs in question. So far it's working fine.

I also tried deleting most of the remainder of the document, and it didn't die as before. It also wasn't very productive :-)

This suggested to me that the problem is with the accumulated size and/or complexity, rather than with something in those specific paragraphs.

I just tried again making further changes to the problem document, and found that how long it stays alive does depend on exactly where I insert new text in that paragraph. It does seem to be reproducible.

Whatever is causing it, presumably this is a bug and should be reported, unless someone tells me that it's a known bug.

Remove those two paragraphs, save your document and exit OpenOffice.

Re-load the document and add them back in (re-type them from scratch, don't
cut-and-paste) and see what happens.

You may have something weird in the document at that point that is causing
OpenOffice to not work.

If it doesn't work when you re-add the paragraphs after doing this, then examine the content of those paragraphs very carefully and see if you can spot anything unusual.
