I have similar problems with OpenOffice 2.3.1 on FreeBSD/i386 (I'm 
running 7.0-PRE as of Dec 23). It's possible to save documents but 
exiting OOo hangs and I need to kill it. Firing up OOo once again, 
there's this "recovery stuff" which hangs also and eats up CPU time. 
Only way out: kill -9 $PID
Opening a document via 'File -> Open -> ...' hangs also. .odt or .doc 
doesn't matter.

No, perhaps using an other word processor (AbiWord, StarOffice). Or 
going back to OOo 2.3.0...
