[PC-BSD Testing] Open Office template errors

[Kris Moore]

You weren't bugging me, just wanted to let you know it may take a bit for me to answer, especially when
I have to go digging to figure out a bug like this :)

I filed a PR here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=136753

Maybe one of the FreeBSD OO guys will take a look now, and see whats going on with this. I've tried digging
into OO code before, and its no fun for sure :)
