** Description changed:

  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
+ 1)  lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
+ Release:	11.10
  
- foo[^\[:alpha:\]]
+ 2)  apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
+ libreoffice-writer:
+   Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
+   Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
+   Version table:
+  *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
+         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
- Steps to reproduce:
+ 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:
  
- 1. Create new writer document (may remain empty)
- 2. Hit Ctrl+F, check "Regular expressions", search for the above foo[^\[:alpha:\]]
+ cd ~/Desktop && lowriter -nologo
  
- 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.
+ Ctrl+F -> Search bar box foo[^\[:alpha:\]] -> click More Options button
+ -> checked Regular expressions checkbox -> clicked Find button
+ 
+ and it fails quickly and gracefully.
+ 
+ 4) What happens instead is Writer becomes and remains unresponsive.
+ 
+ ORIGINAL REPORTER COMMENTS: 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.
