Title:
  Regex Find & Replace causes Writer to become unresponsive

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  While toying with OOo posix expressions I discovered I can crash any
  document by simply starting a regex search for something like

  foo[^\[:alpha:\]]

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create new writer document (may remain empty)
  2. Hit Ctrl+F, check "Regular expressions", search for the above foo[^\[:alpha:\]]

  On my system this will reliably crash soffice.bin. I realize the
  example regex is probably not a good idea in the first place, but that
  shouldn't crash the application.
