oo writer crashes when scrolling page

[Jesusfreak]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

If your document is longer than one page openoffice writer crashes when you try to scroll with the mouse scroll wheel, the scroll bar or the page up/down keys. Crashing seems to depend on the content of the page. If you wanna reproduce this bug copy the text from http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/28/28688/1.html insert it in writer and scroll up. You can also try the testcase attached.
This happens with OO 2.4.1-1ubuntu2 on Ubuntu 8.04.01.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I can't reproduce on intrepid.

Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

When I try to obtain a backtrace as described in the link I get "This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu"..." first. After this I get the following error message from gdb:

{{{
(gdb) run

}}}

Does anyone what to do about that?

I ca confirm this happens on hardy, but only if I open the file directly, if I save it then open it there are no problems, I also tested this in Intrepid under Virtualbox and behavior was the same, it scrolls through perhaps to the third page but every time I tried it writer crashed.

I got two files when I ran a backtrace on this, I am attaching them now.

and the second file.
