Bug Description
OpenOffice crashes whenever it tries to open the Save-as dialog box. This applies to new files that don't yet have a filename when you press the "Save" button or for already existing files when you press the "Save As" button. No crash report is issued, but it proceeds to the document recovery screen. I don't know how to get a detailed trace on the crash because strace detaches the process after the initialization screen.

I can reproduce the same problem here on up-to-date Edgy, i686. Saving the file results in the segmentation fault.
I attach the backtrace and the output from Valgrind. What is interesting it that if I run OpenOffice from within Valgrind, the crash doesn't occur and it saves the file properly.
