[plug] star office reboots my system!

[navarre at plug.linux.org.au]

Hello Jason

Whilst I have not used the StarImpress part of Staroffice I do use 
StarOffice as my email package and to generate text files, view image 
(pictures) thumbnails and a few other things. I have not experienced any 
form of lockup or other nasty things. I have found the program to be 
stable but slow, I seem to have too small a swap file and this brings the 
web browser operation to a crawl, it does the job but slowly.
