        Great :-) then you have some endless loop on the main thread.

        So - do:

        $ ps auwx | grep soffice.bin # note the pid of soffice.bin
        gdb
        attach <that pid you noted above>
        ...
        <ctrl>-c
        thread apply all backtrace

        And (I imagine thread one) should be in the piece of code that is
hanging. Quite possibly you need to re-configure with --enable-symbols
and re-build just the piece that is hanging (initially) to get gdb to
show you much that is of use :-)

        HTH,

                Michael.
