Indeed. It checks every installed file via checksum and runs ldd
on everything to see if the libraries are OK.
Cleanse is actually a good burn-in test for your machine -- at least
I was able to repeatedly show corrupted RAM/controller/whatever with
cleanse on a server box I was installing. The compiles went fine, but
cleanse stressed it enough to give up. I'm glad now that it prevented
me from putting important services onto that broken box;-)
The next server was fine with cleanse and stable in operation (until
the company providing it has been closed down).

That's bugs. Manpower is the key here -- one can mark such files as volatile
and cleanse won't complain. But one has to do that with the spells...
Not so sure about openoffice, but I guess that could be helped, too.
Alrighty then,
Thomas.
