If that is the only thing that locks up your computer then uninstall it and
then reinstall. If the problem persists I would reevaluate what I'm running
to see if it's an out of date distro, or something exotic. Also check drive
space, force a partition check, and look through /var/log/messages for hints.

OO works on pretty much everything.
