A bug is really useful if you can describe how it happened, and can 
repeat it. If so and it uses specific db files / connections, you need 
to list exactly what you did that caused the crash. Some bugs are 
packaging/interaction bugs, other bugs are in the upstream original 
source code (openoffice). Search their issuezilla to see if the bug is 
already known. Also search bugzilla.redhat.com first before creating a 
bug to ensure you aren't doubling up on a bug. Crashing bugs are 
generally considered of higher priority than other bugs!

To create a bug you do need to make a bugzilla account; this reduces 
spam, but also keeps you in the loop on any developments with the bug. A 
heap of bugs go unfixed because the issue is not repeatable for other 
testers / developers, and the reporter is not able to provide more info 
on how the bug occurs.

Please reply if you need more help to find/create a bug.
