Loop after opening odt containing many captioned objects

Hello. OO Writer hangs a while after loading the attached file. As It was made purely in OpenOffice Writer i find this a bug in the software. I had some hard time trying to restore it. Finally KOffice let me export it to rtf, so that i could repair it in OpenOffice again.
Created attachment 39763 [details] File causing breakage in OO.
Confirmed on OOo 2.0.4 Linux. I saw the first page of 17, and then OOo became unresponsive as it consumed CPU (but not memory).
Yes I forgot to mention about the permanent 100% CPU usage while hanging. This seems to be an infinite loop on some of the document's element. Thank you for your interest. I hope this is a rare case for I am concerned about the safety of other users' work.
I can confirm all effects described here for OOo 2.03, 100% CPU and my window manager (kwin) is not reponding, too. Had to kill soffice from the console manually.
MRU->OD: Open attached document; will loop after a short time of formatting process. Was good in 2.0.1.
Loop does not occur anymore due to the implementation of some general loop controls in the Writer layout engine, see issue 81146.
fme->mru: Ready for QA.
Verified in CWS loopcontrol.
Checked fix in OO 2.4 dev build 680m235.
