Extension Manager crashes Writer when checking for updates

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I installed the "Writer's Tools" and "History Master" extensions.

Clicking "Check for Updates..." in the Extension Manager crashes Writer with and produces the following output:

peter@mildred:~/tmp$ oowriter
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPainter::begin: Cannot paint on a null pixmap
X-Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
        Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
        Resource ID: 0x0
        Serial No: 113996 (113996)

I tried installating each extension but the error is reproducible irrespectively of which extension is loaded (I admittedly only tried with the 2 mentioned earlier in this port).
