Description robklg 2006-10-04 15:24:47 UTC 
Hi, I did the following on OpenOffice 1.9 on Linux and OpenOffice 2.0.3 on Windows:

- create an empty file (I.e.: using "touch <filename>" in Linux
- open with Openoffice (I.e.: using "soffice <filename>"
- now OpenOffice will ask how to open it, click on 'HTML Document' or 'Help content'

Now OpenOffice will open the file but instead of being unable to open it, or to
show an empty file it shows 1.5 KB of some (possibly) "random" memory.

I have not tested other document formats, but there may be others that have the
same problem.

Out of curiosity I searched my disk to see where this data comes from. It turns
out the exact content also is inside the files sg30.sdv and sg100.sdv, one of
them is probably loaded in memory.

It is interesting that it stores the 1,5KB to disk without asking the user for
saving the file.

Anyway, it looks like a buffer underrun of some type, expecting 1,5KB of file
contents at a specific memory location i would think.

I confirm the problem with OOo 2.0.4rc2 on Linux.  BTW, the problem does not
occur when the file has as little as 1 byte.

TM->SBA: Reproducible ! According to AS this might be a problem within the
HTML-Filter. If you choose OpenDocument Text from the filter-selection dialog
you will get the expected "General input/output error". Please have a look.

ama->mav:
As discussed, in
sw/source/ui/app/docsh.cxx
SwDocShell::StartConvertFrom(..) calls rMedium.IsStorage()
and I watched during debugging that the stream buffer get filled with1500 bytes
when IsStorage() is called?!
