It looks like the bug is from StarOffice (which IMHO is a bug by itself ;-) ) There's 3 kdelnk files that end by a "Patterns=" line, without any pattern definition. SO 5.0 / Solaris try to read the patterns after the end of the file and crash. Removing those faulty lines in mimelnk/text/x-c++.kdelnk, x-c.kdelnk and xmcd.kdelnk is a workaround I tested successfuly. Regard's -- O. Delemar, Ste. ATHESA CEA/CENG, Bat.
