This page <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956420> explains that it is a bug in
the Microsoft implementation of strncpy in some versions of the msvcr90.dll
library that is part of the Microsoft redistributable run-time libraries.

It is very difficult to "fix" this situation by changing how strncpy is used,
since the edge case arises in Microsoft library code and triggering the
particular conditions may be specific to the Microsoft Surface configuration
used and the document(s) being worked on.  It is necessary, instead, to
introduce an updated redistributable library and probably build a new binary
release of Apache OpenOffice.org.

** I disagree that there is insufficient information in this bug report. 
However, this is very difficult to reproduce.  A new build with the latest
library versions should be made and the reporting party asked to determine
whether installing the new build cures the problem. I note that the hotfix
files have been available since 2008 [;<).

Also, it is near-impossible for an end-user to provide any better details than
these. **

--- Comment #1 from oooforum <oo...@free.fr> ---
Your bug report is being closed as NOT_AN_ISSUE due to a lack of information
which is needed in order to accurately reproduce and confirm the problem. We
need the following information (please ignore any that you've already
provided):

a) Provide details of your system including your operating system and the
latest version of AOO that you have confirmed the bug to be present

b) Provide a step-by-step procedure to reproduce (the simpler will be the
better)

c) Provide any test case(s) which will help us confirm the problem (like a
sample document)

d) Provide screenshots of the problem if you think it might help

e) Read all comments and provide any requested information

Once all of this is done, please set the bug back to UNCONFIRMED and we will
attempt to reproduce the issue.
