Problem Description:

4350792 StarOffice 5.2 does not run when there are mutations or other special
	characters in the login-name or in the system directories.  When you
	have these characters (Ascii > 127, e.g. , , , ...) in
	your login-name StarOffice 5.2 will not function. This is especially
	true in the French version for Windows NT 4.0 as every user has this
	problem, because the Windows directory "Application Data" has been
	translated and contains this type of character.
