Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When starting up openoffice.org 2.1 on feisty, you get a message about an invalid free in libuno_sal.so.3.

Reproduction steps:
1. Run X with the fglrx driver
2. Fire up a terminal and run `ooffice`

Expected result:
Openoffice starts and presents you with its user interface.

Actual result:
Openoffice brings up its splash screen which goes for a while before bombing out with the attached glibc trace.

Workaround:
Start the program with the environment variable "SAL_NOOPENGL=true"
