Deliberate annoyance from the OOo people. They deliberately block error
messages, I guess to be more like Windows(tm). Several times in the past
different upgrades have broken OOo so that it simply exists silently.

I hate unneeded version bumps and would prefer not to see one for OOo
since many people that either don't run Gnome or will hold off on
updating until the dust settles will end up building OOo
repeatedly. This is between 5 and 22 hours, depending on which of my
systems I'm building it.

If I wanted that behavior, I'd run Windows!
