when emerging app-office/openoffice-bin, if the locale is zh_CN.GBK , it will hangs up. The screen output seems like this: >>> Emerging (6 of 14) app-office/openoffice-bin-3.1.1 * OOo_3.1.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. export LC_ALL="zh_CN.GBK" emerge openoffice-bin Actual Results: hangs up at " * Installing OpenOffice.org into build root..." and the command line "sed -i -e s/openoffice.org3/ooffice/g openoffice.org-3.desktop" uses up all cpu resources as it can. Expected Results: complete the installation not only zh_CN.GBK, but also some other locale can reproduce this problem, like ja_JP.EUC-JP. the sed command line "sed -i -e s/openoffice.org3/ooffice/g openoffice.org-3.desktop" hangs at the line started by "GenericName[bg]" in openoffice.org-3.desktop. TO FIX THIS: export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 emerge openoffice-bin and it will work.
Assigning to base-system, looks like another "weird locales make stuff go bump in the night" bug.
Created attachment 250517 [details] openoffice.org-base.desktop to reproduce: LC_ALL=zh_CN.GBK sed '' openoffice.org-base.desktop
e-mailed upstream about the issue. apparently they dont have any bug trackers.
ive added a fix from upstream sed git to 4.2.1-r1 and sed now longer hangs for me
