Hi,

Just in case this helps,  this is a simplified testcase of the OpenOffice.org 
code in question that always worked under 2.4 kernels on multiple 
architectures but fails on 2.6.X kernels on those same multiple platforms.

For some reason, the segfault generated by trying to write to address 0 can 
not be properly caught anymore (or at least it appears that way to me).

Hope this helps.

Kevin
