------- Additional comments from chehr...@openoffice.org Tue Aug 24 08:49:37 +0000 2010 ------- While digging down a startup error on one of our machines (terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException') I came across the copy_recursive() function which returned E_NAMETOOLONG. The problem seems to be that my /usr/lib64/ooo3/basis3.2/presets/config contained a symlink to a non-existant file. I tried to reproduce it on another system and found out that it only occours when the *first* file in the directory is an invalid symlink. So it's easy to reproduce: 1. save your content of /usr/lib64/ooo3/basis3.2/presets/config 2. remove all files in /usr/lib64/ooo3/basis3.2/presets/config 3. create an invalid symlink inside /usr/lib64/ooo3/basis3.2/presets/config (e.g. "ln -s /i/do/not/exist .") 4. save your ~/.ooo and remove this directory so soffice needs to recreate it 5. start soffice and wait for a crash. 6. remove /usr/lib64/ooo3/basis3.2/presets/config/exist and start soffice again - all works fine When debugging you'll see that copy_recursive tries to create ~/.ooo3/user/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/config/ ... until the filename gets too long.
