Just to note that I've also seen OOo crash without a trace from calc a couple of
times since the last FC4 update.  I'm running a clean workstation install of FC4
on an HP laptop using a Gnome desktop.  The stability of OOo seemed to fail on
the upgrade from 1.9.125 to 2.0.0 (unless another FC4 package upgrade around the
same time had an effect).  If I see a stacktrace in future, I'll post it.
