Comment 7 for bug 527938

This should get fixed in upstream but I am not sure why you are still seeing the crash on Ubuntu 10.04. We have split out the libraries needed to keep it from crashing, some time ago, into openoffice.org-base-core which is now depended on by openoffice.org-writer. I uninstalled openoffice.org-base on my system and was not able to make it crash even though the Bibliography part didn't actually work without the rest of Base being installed it did show the dialog box.
