OpenOffice 1.0.1 appears to hang on loading while displaying the 
splash screen. After about 4 minutes of inactivity it continues to load 
normally.
I've filed this as a printing issue because an strace shows that 
'SGENPRT.PS' and 'psprint.conf' are being read, followed by a fork(), 
and then nothing happens for several minutes. (I can mail the strace 
to anyone who's interested).
When 'SGENPRT.PS'  is deleted this behaviour disappears and 
OpenOffice starts correctly.

Here is the top portion of the stacktrace from the thread that I think is 
responsible ( full stack is at
