crash report from DEV300_m9	none

Description aziem 2008-04-19 18:35:33 UTC

I am testing Writer .odt locking on one Linux machine two with user accounts
between OOo 3.0 DEV300_9 and OOo 2.4.0 final.  

If OOo 2.4.0 has it locked first, DEV300_m9 goes into a crash-recovery loop.  I
will attach crash report.

If DEV300_m9 has the file open first, then OOo 2.4.0 opens it in write mode.

I also tested Windows XP and Linux sharing via Samba, and there were similar
results.

Mixed environments are not unlikely, so can this be fixed for 2.4.1?

I retested Linux OOo 2.4 and 3.0 and didn't get a crash, but in both cases, the
second instance opens in read-write mode.

Another test:
On Windows XP, foo.doc in MS Word 2007.  Then, open foo.doc in OOo 3.0: it opens
in read-write mode (wrong).  Close OOo 3.0 and open foo.doc in OOo 2.4.0: opens
in read-only mode (correct).

Suggestion:
I suggest in addition to new locking system (dot lock files), OOo 3.0+ uses the
old file-system-based locking system (unless sharing a Calc document).

As the crash does not happen anymore, this is a duplicate.
