Bug 253896 – Python-uno bridge breaks in hardened openoffice-bin

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dani Church 2009-01-05 19:37:41 UTC]

Trying to use the included Python interpreter in app-office/openoffice-bin-3.0.0 to load the Python-uno bridge crashes with a reference to std::bad_alloc.  Disabling mprotect() restrictions fixes the problem.
