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.
