It will help anyone, the miswritten file was having the spelling

No wonder my laptop went swap-crazy. :)
I used to use OpenOffice 1.0 on a P233 laptop with 96MB of RAM (Redhat 9
as the OS), and aside from the initial loading time, it worked quite well.
Has the memory footprint gone up THAT much with the 1.1 series, or is
the other poster's pain associated with this dictionary bug?
Yeah... I'm affraid OOo 1.1.3 has a bit too big memory foot print to be
useable on a 128Mb System... The whole OOo package should do something
about their loading times and their memory footprint... I mean, you
"only" open an app at a time, is it really necesary to initialize the
whole spreadsheet-like subroutines when you load writer? Couldn't that
be dynamic? (I don't have the slightest idea on how is OOo designed, so
I couldn't say).
