FYI. I have a fix for this OpenOffice.org crashing bug.

The fix is in the following test patches for anyone who wants to test the fix. The crashing bug occurs when opening certain .docx files that are not compliant with the OOXML specification.

NeoOffice 3.4:

I've installed NeoOffice 3.4 Patch 0 Test 2.

Before installing, I downloaded the two files from the OOo bug, test.docx and sample.docx. test.docx opens and sample.docx causes a crash.

After installing, test.docx still opens correctly, sample.docx does not open, but gives an error (General Error. General input/output error.) and NeoOffice does not crash.

As sample.docx is a malformed file, this is presumably the correct behaviour.

Yes, that is the correct behavior.

Interestingly, the sample.docx file was created using a Microsoft Office 2007 "pre-release" version so Microsoft Office 2008 on my Mac machines will not open it either.
