Oh no ... *now* I remember.

And here comes one of the huge can of worms in OpenOffice:
we are using a very old version of ICU.

The truth is, we have code to update ICU to a more recent
version resting peacefully somewhere in the Symphony branch.
The IBM (China) guys that wrote it never merged it into
AOO (at least one of them tried and broke the Mac port,
but I don't remember because I burned the email).

Thank you very much for your help. I suggest you step away
now and forget you ever saw this ... really.

Keep calmed but run.

Pedro.

I think you ay be able to update it with out much trouble
but there is the thing about multiple platforms and testing
different languages.

It would be really nice to see this in the tree so that I could switch
the FreeBSD port to --with-system-icu.
