Hello,
I'm having a weird problem with the (non-free) StarOffice 5.2. I'm
using Xfree 4.1.0-6 (that last bit is the Debian unstable package
revision). It worked fine until a few days ago it hangs at startup
(unfortunately I can't trace the regression back to a specific
upgrade). I've hacked soffice's startup script to do an strace -f on
the binary and and infinite loop occurs with:
---cut---

[... and so on for a while, until the Xpdefault lines appear
again...]

Does anyone know what the problem could be? I got referred to this
list by Debian's X maintainer, I hope this is the right place to ask
this xprint-related question.
Unfortunately, I don't know too much about system calls; I suspect
that the select doesn't return what Staroffice expects, but I'm not
certain. Maybe you can help with your knowledge of xprint internals.
Best regards - and I'd be happy about any hint or pointer,
Yours Malte #8-)
