You also need the latest libX11, which includes this fix: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200706220255.l5M2tH83097833 Nate did not update port revision, though. > But I still wonder why OOo aborted silently w/o core dumping or > making some noise on stderr.

Even if it does, it takes serious time to track down a real culprit for the crash. I believe that is a design decision, though. I mean, it was/is base of a commercial product (StarOffice) and they decided not to scare its users. :-( Jung-uk Kim
