Spotlight 4.5 freezes up during connection phase.
With default settings the IO queries should not run in SoO 4.5. However, if the user upgrades to SoO 4.5 from a previous version, under certain circumstances the might profile be created with S-1-5-21-2415609419-1006158810-2987274526-2231.scx file from the previous SoO version, even though the profile was created in SoO 4.5. This can cause the IOEvent query to still run.
