Jim,
How is it possible to blame a software crash on data input? Is not one of the rules of good software (which, of course, OOo is) that it must detect bad input, e.g. the "problem with the document", provide a rational response (e.g. fix it, explain it), and keep going?
You know, that's the nature of bugs. They're unintended. Thorsten did not blame the data input but simply alluded to the fact that the broken document caused the crash and not a bug in the software alone. That's important, because then you need the broken document to reproduce the erroneous behaviour.
Is a software crash, other than one induced by an error in the underlying platform and/or OS, _ever_ an acceptable response to _any_ problem?
No, of course not. Frank -- The OOo Documentation Project: SIGN UP - PARTICIPATE - CONTRIBUTE IT'S FREE!
