Having read the bug report and having just downloaded the latest version 
of OOo 2.2, I think you should give that a try and see if that fixes 
your issue.

OOo 2.2 is much faster in both saves and opens (at least in calc) as 
well as runs major macros faster than 2.0.4.

You can run 2.2 and 2.0.4 at the same time if you are interested because 
the OOo version will install in /opt by default.
