Maybe I have another data point, and not just a "me too"...

I have been struggling with OpenOffice crashes for a long time now on
one PC running 10.04 (my little netbook on Ubuntu 9.10 is fine). I've
tried both Ubuntu and vanilla version of OOo with the same effect -
swapping applications back to OOo after a length of time causes the
crash.

Yesterday I removed a slow Intel 5100 wifi card from my PC (this was an
ill advised add-on). I had been struggling with the iwlagn wifi driver
being unreliable for ages, and finally got round to rewiring to get a
direct ethernet connection from my router. Anyway, for the first time in
months I have run all day long without an OpenOffice crash. With
multiple documents open, with all the activities I do still being done.

Really could this be related to a piece of network hardware? This might
explain why people are seeing different results on different machines -
a different wifi card, or different driver version perhaps. Maybe OOo or
one of its components tries to chat to the network unnecessarily during
certain events and it gets confused. Either way, I hope my luck holds
out.

I don't know if just disabling the wifi would have the same effect, but
that might be a worthwhile test for somebody out there.
