Could you confirm which branch this fix should be in? I seem to remember 
that in the past you have said to use openoffice 3.4 development branch. 
I tried installing the archlinux package for that branch (listed as 
3.4_dev3000_m95), but still got a crash while cursoring through a 
document in it.
