Hmm. The crash_report: not found is normal, but it should not
core after that.

That happens if you don't start it from the wrappers. Either you
use a wrapper or you cd into the program dir.

That's really bad. Can you get repeat the panic and get a backtrace ?

I'll try to fix the behaviour in openoffice.
