open office fails to start this week

[sean darcy]

on amd64, open office refuses to start. The Open Office blue 
  splash box comes up, then it dies. Same result from 
oowriter ooimpress oocalc, and 
/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice.

openoffice.org-core-2.0.1.1-8.2
openoffice.org-writer-2.0.1.1-8.2
openoffice.org-calc-2.0.1.1-8.2
openoffice.org-impress-2.0.1.1-8.2

It worked last week!

Anybody else seeing this?

Lot of problems with new kernels on x86_64 with threads.  Try an older
kernel.

Old enough for you?

[wriede@athena ~]$ uname -a
Linux athena.riede.org 2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 11 18:13:37 EST 2006 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't think that theory flies (I upgraded only openoffice, not the kernel since it
last worked).
