Does anyone have problems with StarOffice failing to start.
I find occasionally that it just refuses to fire up, whether from an icon
or from a command line, and fails to give any indication as to why it's
not starting.
I certainly don't have a problem with RAM (128MB) or swap space (256MB),

*shrug* try openoffice

machine. I use StarOffice pretty roughly (15~ spreadsheets open at a
time), and open and close it numerous times over a day. It crashes maybe
once every 2 weeks, but has never had a problem killing itself cleanly on
Ya, I have found this. If you leave it open it will behave itself, but I
have taken to closing it as it keeps trying to delete some IMAP files that
don't exist anyway and the error warnings keep pissing me off, so I close
