LibreOffice 3.6.1 spontaneously hangs in Mac OS X.6.8

[dushanm]

By mistake I had installed the PPC version of LO 3.6.1 on my Intel Mac Pro, and loaded an existing spreadsheet that was saved by NeoOffice. A few seconds after loading, without my hitting any keys or buttons, but moving the cursor, the app hung (spinning beach ball and one CPU goes to 100%).

After force-quitting, I downloaded and installed the Intel version over the earlier one, and then again loaded the same spreadsheet. Again after a few seconds the app hung spontaneously. Finally I deleted the app with AppDelete, and installed it fresh from the .dmg file.

This time I opened a new spreadsheet and tried a couple of elementary things. They worked, so I accessed Preferences and started to look at the General subheading under LibreOffice. After a few seconds, without my doing anything, the app hung.

This happened two more times. Is there any way to get this app working under Mac OS X.6.8?

Thanks.

Before reporting bug, I suggest to install the latest version from 3.6 series, currently 3.6.5 from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect - this problem may already be fixed.
