Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39649
Serious memory leak.

I have tried using both the word processor and spreadsheet. I do not know which, in particular, is causing the problem but it renders the product unusable because it corrupts other concurrently running programs causing failure of those other programs which leads to a lockup. On reboot, Windows always reports lost file fragments in 65k chunks after it runs Scandisk. The first time I installed it I created a spreadsheet and at some point the app declared that it could no longer open anything I had created with it. I tried doing a repair; no effect. I tried doing a re-install; no effect. So, it apparrently corrupted its own files in another directory. It also blew away some of my desktop files. Happy hunting!
I've never seen such a behaviour of OOo 1.1.x. It has never locked up any other application or causes trouble in scandisk. I would assume that this is related to a misconfigures system.
closed because not reproducible. I assume a defect on the harddisk
