Problem description: 
I get a crash on startup when the progress window shows "Enabling: Solver for non-linear programming..." on CentOS 6.2. The progress bar stays stuck at this message for a while, and memory usage + cpu load keeps increasing steadily. Eventually when all the memory is used up, the window disappears and I am returned to the command prompt (I launched 'libreoffice3.5' from the command-line).

I installed using the RPMs on the LibreOffice website. I downloaded the .tar.gz file, untarred, installed the main RPMs first, then the desktop-integration RPMs, as per the readme file. The directory where the RPMs are located is called 'LibO_3.5.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US' so is this not the official released version?

Note that I AM using the latest NVIDIA graphics driver from elrepo, I am hoping this is not the reason for the crash as I can't really use the native driver.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install latest LibO from the website on a newly built CentOS 6.2 system with latest NVIDIA graphics driver.
2. Run 'libreoffice3.5' from the command-line
3. The startup window appears, showing various progress bars.
4. A progress bar showing "Enabling: Solver for linear equations" will appear and it will just stay hung there for about 30 secs.
5. During this time, memory usage will increase slowly until all of it is using. CPU is also at 100% during this time.
6. Eventually after about 30 secs the start window will disappear and I will be returned to the command prompt.

I am attaching strace output if that is any help.

Current behavior: As described above

Expected behavior: Proper Libreoffice startup

Comment 1 Khusro Jaleel 2012-03-04 04:13:30 UTC 
OK, I removed the following RPMs to make it startup properly:

libobasis3.5-extension-mediawiki-publisher
libobasis3.5-extension-nlpsolver-3.5.0-13.x86_64.rpm

I have not tested with any documents yet, but it seems to startup fine. Those extensions are causing issues.

Thanks for bugreport
May be problem with Java. Bug still exist with new version of LO?

Hi, sorry I forgot to come back and post an update. I checked a while ago on CentOS 6.3 I believe with a newer LO and couldn't reproduce this so I think it's fixed.
