For me, OpenOffice typically crashes after copying text in an Evolution email. I disabled Hyphenation in OpenOffice, since that hit me once with an automatic hyphenation happening. But in general it feels that the error happens when I switch between applications with Alt-Tab and swap back to OOo. Its possible that I have stuff on the clipboard, since that's often why I've been jumping around. I've seen errors reported with copying of HTML from browsers based apps with rich text editors such as TinyMCE, which also run a lot (in Chrome). Also, it seems worse if I have an image showing on a Writer page when I swap between apps.
Probably doesn't help cut down the list, but I've been struggling with this for ages, both in the Ubuntu distribution release and the vanilla version of OpenOffice. I tried Abiword as an alternative, but that actually corrupted a document for me this afternoon trying to save to DOCX format (after about only 24 hours use), so that won't work for me. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and OpenOffice 3.2 (both Ubuntu release and vanilla release), and I hate the crashes all the time. I have no problems, even on a little netbook on Ubuntu 9.10 NBR and OOo 3.1.
