I tried looking this one up, but while it appears similar to some of the closed
issues, I could not find an open one against the 2.0 beta - this occurs with
1.9.100-118 releases (at leat) on linux (fedora fc 2/3/4, rh9).

I routinely create large documents using OOo, and a formatting exists.

This problem does not seem to occur on relatively small documents.  However, on
large documents (250+ pages, 100+/- ole objects, 100+/- tables, some graphics,
100+ footnotes - fairly complex), after editing for appearance to get the
formats to match my office's "standards" the page layouts are not preserved
after saving/reopening, or after exporting as a pdf file (which brings the
"repaginating document" advisory to the bottom of the screen).

Typically page breaks move - almost randomly - and are not duplicatable from one
instance of opening the file to the next, even if no changes are made and no
document save occurs.

While I cannot submit one of these (extremely proprietary and I have a new job
so I have to be on "good behavior" and can't take a chance on bending the
rules), here are the steps to recreate the problem:

1. Using writer create a large document as described above (250+ pages, 100+/-
ole objects, 100+/- tables, some graphics, 100+ footnotes), making sure that
some of the displays (ole objects are scatter plots of up to 12 k datapoints)
are at the beginning of their respective pages.  Make sure that all level 1
headings begin on an odd-numbered page.

2. Save the document (or export it as PDF).

3. (THE DOC WILL DO A 'REPAGINATION')

4. Typical changes (typically different on each reopening of doc):
   a) The page breaks will have shifted, sometimes between an object and its
caption (a no-no for my office's standards).
   b) Additional blank pages will have been added which were not present before
doing step 2, above.
   c) Some tables previously set as not to "allow table to break ..." will have
broken anyway.
   d) Number of pages in document may have changed (usually more, sometimes 
less.

Honestly I suspect the 256 MB limit on memory may play an issue (this machine
has 2GB), although temp storage is not (that filesystem has many GB free space
and no ulimit problem).
