--- Comment #12 from Luke Kendall <luke.kendall at gmail.com> ---
Just a note that I had a short (800 word) doc that I compared versions with,
using 6.2.3.2 and it instantly crashed.

Writer 6.2.3.2 also never progressed in the document recovery when it reached
the compared-doc: it was using 30%-50% CPU time, but after 20 mins hadn't
managed to make any progress on the 800 word doc I'd been comparing.

I installed 6.2.4.2 and ran that - it quickly recovered the documents (20 secs
or so).  So this note is mainly to say the crash problem may be fixed.

Writer's file compare is still woefully bad compared to MS Office. Even on an
800 word file it marks whole paragraphs as changed when you change a few
characters or a few words.
