Public bug reported:

LibreOffice 3.5 fails to open a specific .doc Word file (see attachment), and 
hangs, turning to grey for an unpredictable time.
Other .doc files from the same MS source keep being opened without problems.

Launching LibreOffice at the console via :
# soffice WordDoc.doc 
or 
# soffice --view WordDoc.doc

gives no more information.

.~lock.WordDoc.doc# is created but since LibreOffice does not crash, no
.crash file is generated.

AbiWord opens the document properly, and the new .doc file regenerated
with AbiWord from this problematic .doc file then opens properly with
LibreOffice.
