Normal single CPU, 800MHZ IBM (Netvisa) Intel PIII.
I tried it on a Machine with nfs drives and NIS and withhout (I had to reboot my server). 
I'M using FreeBSD, professionally, for about 5Years, never had something like this.
>Description:
Somtimes, I tried it on two different 5.3c machines, stalls OpenOffice, while trying to open a Document. Nothing serious, who uses this gui stuff?
But when OpenOffice stalls it is impossible to kill the process. I run the process as unauthorized user: uid=1001(keusgen) gid=100(user) groups=100(user), 0(wheel), 501(smbuser), 500(cvsuser), 502(buerouser), 83(llogin).
But even root cannot kill the soffice.bin processes. killing the Gui via xkill works. kill -9 has absolutly no effect. Never seen this before. I tried to kill init, to go into single user mode. It did not work.
After a short while, 30-60secs the machine freezes completly, no login, ls, ps whatever. 
It's like MS-Windows. Reboot by unpluggin the machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
The first start of a new OpenOffice Installation is a good choice, try to open a corrupt document, but not too corrupt.
Then I got it from the konqueror. The first time I used the konqueror. I told him to use soffice for opening *.doc files. The first time he tried to open a *doc file, I had to reboot the machine.
