This is how to reproduce this nasty and mean bug:
(Happend with OOo 3.1 on WinXP SP3)

- Make you C-drive (the drive where Openoffice is installed) pretty full
  (I know that Windows start warning you, but this happens anyway sometimes...)
- Now create a new text document, or open an existing one
  (also works with Impress, probably with all OOo components)
- Save the document to a DIFFERENT hard drive (in my case a different
  hard drive D), where you DO have enough space.
- No warning is issued, you think you are fine...
- Close OOo.
- Result: You have a small document file saved, but with no useful
  information in it :(

This way I have just lost the result of a whole working day! I consider this a
P2 bug because it results in a total data loss without any warnings from OO!

Remark: In my case it even happend with quite some space left in the C-drive
(200MB). But the presentation document in use was also relativly big (5MB after
saving, a lot of bitmap images in it.)

Variant: In the first occasion (which I could not reproduce) OO did issue an
error message (General I/O Error...). But after issuing this message it would
not save the currently loaded document on ANY other medium with enough free
space any more. Not even after freeing a LOT of disk space on C and then trying
to "save as" to anywhere else. No chance to save my data :( --> total data loss!
