 and then it did what? Crash? Continue to work? 
 NetBSD's pthread implementation has many internal consistency checks,
 that other thread implementations (like Linux) don't have and don't
 complain about related errors.
 That thread-related problems do exist in OpenOffice is known, so it
 depends on the exact circumstances what can be done, and is worth the
 effort.
 Btw, do you set PTHREAD_DIAGASSERT in your shell? There's already the
 standard setting in the startup script to ignore all pthread-related
 errors it can, but this only takes effect if this variable is unset.
