http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105557 this is a known race condition (well, actually two different kinds of race condition, occuring in most of the writer API implementation): it's only partially fixed since OOo 3.3; actually, the only way i know to reliably crash due to this is to run our Bookmark unit test (before OOo 3.3). you're probably the first user to find it :) only known workaround is to restart OOo when it crashes. -- "Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos.
