the example file from the debian bug

Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690066:

--- snip ---
Package: libreoffice-writer
Version: 1:3.5.4+dfsg-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

The data loss scenario is as follows: 

1) Open the attached docx file, 
2) Edit it, save as docx.

The file is now un-openable by MS Office, and only the first 3 pages
are visible in libreoffice.

The corruption actually does not rely on editing the file; this can be
confirmed using "save-as" to a second docx file; the same apparent
truncation happens.

Unzipping the truncated file, it looks like the user data (i.e. text
of paragraphs) is actually still there, but according to xmllint
word/document.xml does not parse.

    word/document.xml:2: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: hyperlink line 2 and p
    ="18"/><w:szCs w:val="20"/></w:rPr><w:t xml:space="preserve"> </w:t></w:r></w:p>
										   ^
    word/document.xml:2: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: p line 2 and body
    docGrid w:charSpace="0" w:linePitch="360" w:type="default"/></w:sectPr></w:body>
										   ^
    word/document.xml:2: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: body line 2 and document
    rSpace="0" w:linePitch="360" w:type="default"/></w:sectPr></w:body></w:document>
										   ^
    word/document.xml:2: parser error : Premature end of data in tag document line 2
    rSpace="0" w:linePitch="360" w:type="default"/></w:sectPr></w:body></w:document>

I suppose it might in principle be possible to recover the data from
the corrupted XML file. That seems daunting enough that it still seems
to be an RC bug to me.

FWIW, I get this message in the terminal where I started lowriter

  /tmp/buildd/libreoffice-3.5.4+dfsg/writerfilter/source/dmapper/GraphicImport.cxx:1486 failed. Message :GraphicCrop
