Description:
I am having problems opening certain pre-existing files with Openoffice. This was tested extensively with swriter, but simpress was observed to exhibit similar behavior. New .odt files can be saved and re-opened. Old .odt files (i.e. files from last November) created with the a previous Arch build of Openoffice 3.0 do not open; attempting to do so causes Openoffice to become unresponsive and requires a force quit. The same problem is seen with recent .odt and .sxw files created by other users (e.g. with Openoffice 3.x on Windows). However, .doc files created with the Windows version of Openoffice 3 do appear to open correctly.

I tried deleting the old .openoffice* hidden directories, but this did not help.

Additional info:
Affected package: openoffice-base 3.0.1-1
As far as I know, this problem originated after the 3.0.0-4 -> 3.0.1-1 update.

Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to open a new .odt/sxw created with another Openoffice installation. Or try an old .odt file made prior to the 3.0.0-4 -> 3.0.1-1 update.
