Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I guess this happened during an automatic security update because I wasn't running any update manager at the time that I noticed the apport bug report popping up in Gnome's notification area. I was however running OpenOffice writer, which might have something to do with it?!

The attachments above were added automatically by apport and I just noticed that DpkgTerminalLog.txt contains a few irrelevant entries from a few hours *before* this happened, but no entries that are relevant to this bug report... I'm attaching /var/log/dpkg.log in the hope that it will be more useful, though it doesn't seem to contain any warnings/errors.
