Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 91846
OpenOffice crashes with LC_ALL set to Unicode
Last modified: 2009-05-22 07:22:40 UTC
This has been confirmed by various users of Gentoo. Setting LC_ALL to de_DE.utf8 (de_DE is german) for example will result in /usr/bin/soffice: line 254: 8167 Speicherzugriffsfehler "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@" Speicherzugriffsfehler is german for Segmentation fault. This seems to be reproducible also for other languages as users have reported the same behaviour for en_EN.UTF8 and it_IT.UTF8. I have no problems so far with LC_ALL set to de_DE or de_DE@euro. This is what is in my /etc/locale.gen: de_DE ISO-8859-1 de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15 de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 locale -a prints out the following: C de_DE de_DE@euro de_DE.utf8 POSIX No such problems with version 2.4.0. Please have a look at the provided URL referring to the corresponding bug at Gentoo. Regards.
We've never been able to reproduce. As discribed in the gentoo issue it doesn't happen with OOo 3.x
