Bug#482152: openoffice.org-writer2latex install eats all ram and kills box
Package: openoffice.org-writer2latex
Version: 0.5-6
Dist: sid x86_64
Libc: libc6 2.7-1
I've tracked this down to this:

more specifically to the uno.bin binary from openoffice, which is
running rampant and never finishes. Its environment (minus termcap):

if left alone it will grow til you run out of swap, and ext3 journal runs
out of ram, crashes your root filesystem to read only and forces a manual
fsck, among other fun things (sigh).
for eg:
3335 root 22 0 2308m 1.5g 33m S 69 78.5 0:08.92 uno.bin
i straced it as i installed it, the tar of all the forked straces
are here. The largest is obviously uno.bin operating on some filehandle.

which then runs uno* from openoffice and eats all ram and never completes.
Perhaps I have a special environment. Perhaps this is a repeat of
the other bug, which generated an exception for the lucky poster instead
of eating all ram on the whole system for him.
