After updating to Openoffice 2.0.2-r1, oooqs started breaking down. I'm using oooqs in the portage, version 2.0.3-r2. When oooqs starts up, it starts spawning soffice.bin processes and the computer is basically unusable unless a "killall -s 9 oooqs && killall -s 9 soffice.bin" is issued. $ ps ax PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND [...snip...] 26645 pts/2 S 0:00 oooqs 26648 pts/2 S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -plugin -

...and so on. I would suggest blocking oooqs from openoffice 2.0.2 until issue is fixed (perhaps bug #123777 should be also checked for feasibility of oooqs2). # emerge --info Portage 2.1_rc1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-ck10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-ck10 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre19 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig confcache distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ ftp://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ http://ds.thn.htu.se/linux/gentoo http://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/ http://gentoo.tiscali.nl/gentoo/" LANG="C" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac acpi adns alsa arts asf async audiofile automount avi berkdb bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dbus dga divx4linux dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode ethereal exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glut gmp gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal hdaps idn ieee1394 imlib ipv6 irmc java jpeg jpeg2k junit kde kdeenablefinal kqemu lcms libg++ libwww mad madwifi mikmod mjpeg mmx mmxext mng motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcmcia pcre pdflib perl pic png pnp ppds pppd python qt quicktime readline real reflection rtc samba sdl snmp spell sse sse2 ssl swat sysfs syslog tcltk tcpd tga theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales vorbis wifi win32codecs wma wmf xcomposite xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xorg xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_i810" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I wonder if this could be related to this blog entry of Michael Meeks: http://www.gnome.org/~michael/activity.html#2006-05-18 A wild guess.
Please try oooqs-2.1.0 which just went into portage and should fix that problem
I'm still getting this issue, even with 2.1.0.1. I wonder what's wrong. Sorry for not commenting earlier.
