OOo crashes Catia V5 3D CAD/CAM application

OOo crashes Catia V5 3D CAD/CAM application Steps to reproduce: I open a Catia V5 CATpart. Copy the model to the clipboard, or do some other memory intensive work. Open a OOo writer or impress file (tried no other document) and do a few clicks. Switching the focus back to the catia window sometimes crashes catia immediately, sometimes i had to copy the model to the clipboard again to crash catia. This only happens with OOo opend. No other application installed can produce this behavior, so I think this is a bug in OOo. This happens with OOo 1.1.5, 2.0.4 and 2.1 (tried no other version). Catia crashes with no error and no error is written to the logfiles. It is nessecary to switch between catia and OOo to do the documentation of the catia model. Because of this bug the use of OOo is not possible on a catia workstation. I tried out two different Dell Precision Notebooks M70 and M65 with 2GB of RAM. The crash also happens in a vmware virtual machine on another hardware. I tried to play with the memory settings in the OOo options with no success. Also tried to enable/disable the OpenGL Options and Dithering. Found postings about this topic: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=25918&highlight=catia http://ww3.cad.de/foren/ubb/Forum133/HTML/004351.shtml How can I help to localize this problem? Bye
This crashes do not happen, if I open first OOo and then the catia model. Then, opening another OOo document, catia crashes again.
sowieso, I suggest talking to Catia's support - it is their application crashes, so they have all means to troubleshoot, debug and fix their code. OO community can't do anything as we even do not have source code for Catia.
