I'm very interested in any other bugs that come out of the woodwork
from this. Martin also just mentioned to me that Alexander Kabaev
(on the ports mailing list) is investigating a possible RTLD_GLOBAL
symbol issue that kills openoffice reliably for him when running with
GCC2 (-stable's standard compiler).
The stack issue was incredibly odd. It corrupted the 'make install'
sequence for openoffice without faulting it out, resulting in a
seemingly good install which actually wound up being totally
corrupt when one tried to run the setup program. Fixing the rtld
bug did not solve the setup program's woes, one actually had to
'make deinstall; make install' openoffice again, with the fixed rtld,
for setup to then work properly. That's a very, very odd effect and
I'm amazed that Martin was able to track it down to rtld-elf.
