Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 83948
WW8: loop opening doc having complex / nested tables and multi column sections
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:26 UTC
OOo 2.3.1-RC1 Italian hangs on opening a DOC file available on Microsoft's website from the page http://www.microsoft.com/italy/licenze/risorse/pur.mspx Document URL: http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/5/5/D5530B67-9398-4B72-96EC-E169F9C38AA9/PUR_Ita_July07.doc (I'm not sure it is allowed to attach the file to this issue, but size is 933376 and md5sum is d310c3c29ebbbd479f047f3703fc5198). Upon seemingly completing the import, OOo freezes at 100% CPU usage and becomes unresponsive. It might be related to an old and still present crash on a file from the same source described in issue 59022 but behavior of OOo is different in this case.

MRU->OD: the document loops somewhere during formatting, as you already found out by debugging. Please talke over at first. Thanks!
Confirmed on Linux Fedora 7 and Windows. Tested also with versions 2.2.1 and 2.3.0 both freeze OOo.
