	It sounds bothersome indeed.

	What fun :-) you mentioned that your libc is missing a load of methods,
I would suspect something like file-locking to be a problem here. Do you
have an 'strace' equivalent you can use to see what syscalls fail ? you
could try unsetting SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING in the soffice wrapper to
see if that helps.

	Comic :-)

	Good question; I would get a Linux and BSD system side by side, and put
some break-points in ucb/source/ucp/file/filstr.cxx - or somewhere
around there, and see how they behave on both sides of the equation.

	HTH,

		Michael.
