Exporting the DICOM Standard to docbook

I have finally found sometime to update PS 3.3 XML in GDCM using the newest standard: PS 3.3 - 2009.

It seems however that there has been some internal changes in OpenOffice.org and the docbook export function does not work as well as it used to be.

For instance see this bug report:

Hello Jorge,

Unfortunately not all libraries have been designed with data-race detection tools in mind. Several libraries contain code that triggers benign data races. Examples are the I/O code in libstdc++ and in libc.

You can either create a suppression pattern to suppress the above races, or even simpler, add the following code in main() before thread creation starts:

std::ostringstream dummy;
dummy << 0;

The above code will make sure that locale initialization, which is triggered by sending an number to an I/O stream, will happen before any threads are created and hence no races will be reported anymore on locale initialization.

While setting up a new hybrid debian stable + backports, I got this strange error during a 'apt-get install gnome'.
