[K12OSN] OpenOffice 2.0 (aka 1.9) and 4.2.1EL

[Peter Hartmann]

As an update to my own post: I can see that it's stuck on javaldx. 
When I kill the javaldx process the liscence agreement pops up and the
program starts.  If I try again it still gets stuck but after i kill
javaldx the program starts.  Is there a way to fix this? I can't seem
to find the source for oo2.0.1 so patching is out i think.



Thanks!

Peter
