I thought Heiko spoke with a lovely British accent.:slight_smile:

I've seen the same thing happen on some of my documents.
In one case, LibO was using 15GB of Virtual RAM and 5GB of Memory RAM.
In a different case, Virtual RAM hit the 25GB point, before the system
crashed.

I assumed it was because I'm using a "don't use unless you are
developer" version.
However:
* OOo 1.1.x used to crash when there were more than 2^16 (I think) style
changes within the document;
* I've got several multi-page tables in these documents. In one
document, there was a table that was 150+ A4 pages long.

Would like copies of these documents? FWIW, the content is codes for
languages, writing systems, countries, and political subdivisions of the
world.
