Quite likely there was some problem in U3 openoffice because a new version 
was released so soon:

Sep  4 07:05 
/usr/src/redhat/UPDRPMS.old/openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.0-16.13.EL.i386.rpm
Sep 17 12:21 
/usr/src/redhat/UPDRPMS.old/openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.0-16.14.EL.i386.rpm

Those are the dates when Lineox built them, so they are up to one day 
later than source availability.

U3 was released by Lineox as ACLEL 3.032 and the most recent is 3.048, so 
the fixed openoffice must have been in ACLEL for a while. I didn't notice 
any openoffice related problems in U3 build, so I can't say anything about 
possible problems in CentOS, but because Lineox makes ACLEL disks these 
kind of problems get fixed automatically.
