Description Unknown 2003-05-29 08:53:18 UTC 
Cannot save any file, nor open Configuration.
Get an error box saying "An unrecoverable error has occurred".

Problem occurred suddenly. Software has been installed and working well for at 
least a year. I went to create a new file, and found I couldn't save. Tested 
existing files, and cannot save changes to those either.
Tried to open "Configure" dialog, to look for any broken configuration, but 
that causes same error, and program exit.

Problem apparent in Writer, Calc, and Impress, at least.

Reboot has not helped, nor has running "OpenOffice setup | Repair".

Please make sure you have sufficient file access permissions for tmp
and the place where OOo stores its settings - and of course for the
directory where you tried saving.

Nik: (original submitter)

I needed to use OpenOffice on my machine, so I
de-installed/re-installed until it worked again. After the second
reinstall, it worked. So presumably, some control file had been
corrupted, and by allowing the file to be overwritten during the
reinstall, this has been fixed.

Sadly, I cannot tell what caused the original corruption. The machine
was slow to shutdown the day previous to the problem occurring, with
KMail taking some minutes to close (compressing mailboxes). This had
caused OpenOffice to also be slow to close, but no errors were
reported, and I can see nothing likely in the logs.

I'm closing this bug, because there is no way to figure out what went
wrong. Anyway, its obviously not a xml/definition but a framework/code
bug.
