[libreoffice-users] Re: Frame in header of .doc crashes Writer

A headless conversion gets as far as "convert
/home/paul/Desktop/test_crash/crashy_pleading.doc ->
/home/paul/Desktop/test_crash/crashy_pleading.docx using Office Open XML
Text", with soffice hanging in the background and using lots of memory and
100% cpu.
