[size=18]Save As..Rich Text crashes oo writer:[/size]

[richsys]

Good day!
On upgrade to oo 3.2.0.5 as part of OpenSUSE 11.2 (Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default x86_64)

a) the Universal Rich Text Format is no longer automatically opened by oowriter (instead you now have to use the right-click - Open with...operation) and,
b) on a newly created document, most attempts to Save As.. .rtf now repeatedly crash oowriter, albeit no sophisticated document layout, nor any but the standard default style is employed.
c) Even adding a couple of words within an existing simple and straightforward .rtf text created by an earlier version of OpenOffice also results in OpenOffice crashing when you attempt to re-save.
Since this was not a problem prior to the update, I don't know if any setting may now need to be revised to correct this problem, or is this an inherent fault with the update?
Regards
