Bug Description

When trying to open a WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS file, the interface of OOWriter hangs, and can only be killed. This is reproducible on amd64 and i386. I haven't tried on powerpc yet (as I have X problems there)

While it's hanging, it's not using CPU time at all.

I'll attach a file that triggers this shortly.

This WordPerfect file (notes taken during a history lesson in WP 5.1 in 1992, later converted to WP 6.0 format) crashes OpenOffice.org Writer when opened.
