--- Comment #9 from craig at arno.com <craig at arno.com> ---
Same problem here with a 6 page "Will" document, did some experimenting to see
what works/doesn't since my busted up password protected document -only- takes
2 minutes to open:

1. [works] OpenOffice 4.1.3 (Windows) Opens the 6 page document almost
instantly.

2. [works] Using OpenOffice 4.1.3 to do a "SaveAs..." to a new filename, with
same or new password, creates a document which LibreOffice x64 (5.x, 6.x) will
open quickly. (Yes, this is a "recovery tactic")

3. [doesn't] Waiting for LibreOffice to open the offending document and then
using LibreOffice to perform a "SaveAs..." just makes another "broken file" and
takes twice as long to do as opening the "broken file", 1x to SaveAs... + 1x to
get LibreOffice "unhung" so it will close.  Behavior under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and
Windows 10 x64 is the same. soffice.bin uses 100% of 1-CPU while performing
it's shenanigans.

Observations:
a) The META-INF/Manifest.xml produced by #2 above is quite different from the
original file with all the problems.  This different META-INF/Manifest.xml
seems to work well with LibreOffice 5.x/6.x x64 on both Linux and Windows
Platforms.

b) The META-INF/Manifest.xml produced by #3 matches the original file which
causes all the problems on opening.

c) My file having all the problems was created using LibreOffice and is
timestamped 27-Aug-2016.  I tend to keep LibreOffice up to date so it was
produced using a "current version" around that date.

d) It's -really- nice to have an OpenDocument -STANDARD- for ODT type files so
other tools can be used for just such occasions.  Who knows, maybe next time
OpenOffice will be the one experiencing problems.  At least we have choices
about what to try.

The OpenOffice site, in case you forgotten, is http://www.openoffice.org/
This should help you recover your documents so you can continue to use
LibreOffice.
