This bug is still alive:
CONFIRMED with LibreOffice 3.4.4, German langpack,
running on MacOS X 10.6.8 German,
AND with LibO-dev 3.5.0,
Build ID: 549f928-b211287-090bcba-45cf606
Build Date: 2011-12-01.

When trying to open the sample document, LibreOffice just hangs.

Changed Platform to "All", because it affects MacOS, too (not only
Linux).

Title:
  [upstream] Writer hangs indefinitely opening MS Word .doc

Bug description:

  Description:        Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:        11.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
    Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5

  3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/401003/+attachment/630609/+files/MS%20Office%20XP%20document.doc
  && lowriter -nologo MS\ Office\ XP\ document.doc

  and it opens quickly and successfully.

  4) What happens instead is Writer hangs indefinitely.

  WORKAROUND: Use Abiword.

  apt-cache policy abiword
  abiword:
    Installed: 2.8.6-0.3build1
    Candidate: 2.8.6-0.3build1
    Version table:
   *** 2.8.6-0.3build1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages
  100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Original Report Comments: OOo Writer grey screens and CPU usage jumps
  up. The running Writer then has to be killed. This happens under
  Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit with OO 3.0.1 (build 9379).
