OpenOffice is _not_ running out of AFS (look a the path name in the strace).
OO probably has bugs but this problem happens only with the new version
of OpenAFS and I see very similar/the same problems when accessing other
files in  my home directory volumes with other programs. Yesterday, I
tried to "bzip -d" a file with the same error. I could "fix" that with an
"fs flush".

There are no kernel messages. Enabling fstrace doesn't show anything 
suspicious - but then, I don't know what I am looking for.
I can send you the dump if you want.
