             Bug #: 48692
           Summary: Importing large .doc file causes loop
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.2 Release
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mike.sykes at acm.org


Double-clicked a Word .doc file 4,550,144 bytes in size. LibreOffice Writer
started and after some seconds (creating a temporary copy?) the progress bar
started to show "Importing document ..." and very slow progress, viz one mark
every 10 seconds or so. 

CPU usage was 90+% (1 Gh AMD Athlon). I continued with another task, whose
window covered the Writer window. When I returned to see if Writer had
finished, the window was blank, with no status bar, and showing only the
hourglass pointer. Windows said it was "not responding".

The only solution was to end the task, after which it was necessary to delete
the .~lock. file.

The bug is reproducible.

Microsoft Word for Windows 97, which created the file, opens it almost
instantaneously.
