    Description

      Importing the RTF file available at http://www.immed.org/Fatigue%20Illness/_GWI_IJO.rtf reliably causes infinite loop of openoffice process soffice at near 100% CPU

      1581 tomcat 20 0 641m 128m 43m R 99.2 6.4 2:12.53 soffice.bin

      This is occurring on Fedora10 with stock OpenOffice install.

      Note that other documents import correctly.

      To recover from this error, one must restart the openoffice process. And the infinite-looping consumes significant resources and can cause a denial-of-service attack.

      There are other RTF documents in http://www.immed.org which also do not import correctly, even though they display Ok in openoffice. Other documents from that same site import and display successfully.
