>Description:
	I'm running the Linux binary of Openoffice2 (from pkgsrc) on an
	up-to-date -current system.  When I use ^O to open a file, it can't
	list any such directories.

	Here's a shell sequence:

	# mount -t mfs /dev/wd0b /mnt
	# cp ~smb/.profile /mnt/foo.txt


	# umount /mnt
	# mount -t tmpfs /dev/wd0b /mnt
	# cp ~smb/.profile /mnt/foo.txt


	# umount /mnt                  
	# mount -t mfs /dev/wd0b /mnt  
	# cp ~smb/.profile /mnt/foo.txt


	# umount /mnt

	Right after each 'cp', I uniconized OpenOffice2, typed ^O, typed

		/mnt/ [ENTER]

	in the box.  For the mfs file system, it showed foo.txt; for the tmpfs 
	file system, it showed nothing.  I can open the file by typing its 
	name, so it's annoying rather than critical.  Working in a subdirectory 
	didn't help.
>How-To-Repeat:
	See above
>Fix:
	No fix, but you can bypass the problem by typing the full pathname
	of the file you want to open into the dialog box.  That is, it can
	open files; it just can't list the directories they're in.
