On at least three occasions now, OpenOffice has crashed after an extended hang
(presumably an infinite loop type issue) while I have been editing text data in
a Base form. The Base file uses an embedded HSQL DB.

I can't reliably recreate the issue, but when it has occurred it happens after
copying text into the form from another document or application, then trying to
edit the copied text in the form.  The data being copied is plain text and is
not of unusual size.  In today's case it was being copied from a Writer file.

I know that's a horrendously vague description, but it is particularly annoying
since it generally results in significant loss of data because of not having any
easy way to backup or ability to recover the embedded DB.  

(I know -- it's easy to say don't use the embedded DB; but a major reason I
chose OO for this project was the ability to easily transfer the work between
different computers and users in one convenient file.  I have warned the other
users to manually back up the file (using "Save As") frequently, but apparently
forgot to take my own advice!)

I am attaching the stack trace from Mac OS's crash report just in case an
ambitious developer wants to investigate.
