They sure are:

wes@homer$ /usr/local/office52/program
bash: /usr/local/office52/program: is a directory

wes@homer$ /usr/local/office52/program/soffice
/usr/local/office52/program/soffice: /usr/bin/test: not found

Then it continues to run the binary.  Perhaps the port could fix this
minor bobble?  And include a packing list so it can be deleted?

Other than that, it seems to work OK.  44 seconds to startup and shutdown;
it still isn't exactly a speed daemon.
