Rory do you refer to this Issue
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127805.
Matthias has posted some crash analysis pointing to a function. I
reviewed the code tonight. Just read it and analyzed it. It looked fine
on first glance.
I think it could be an Binary Issue between FreeType 2.6.x and 2.8.x. I
guess it happened in 2.7.x because I had this issue before FOSDEM 2017,
and Arch Linux has used 2.7 at that time.

For information:
On a Windows XP machine (32 bit) I have installed AOO 4.2.0 (en-US) version 1842967. The Page
Format shows "Area" (not "Background", as on Linux 64 version) as a tab, and I
can change a page background on the Windows version. The crash in Impress, when selecting a Master
Page, does not occur on that Windows version.
On my preferred machine, running AOO 4.2.0 (en-US) 2018-10-05_08:36:16 - Rev.
184287 on Xubuntu 18.04.1 64 bit I find the following differences from the
Windows version.
1) Page Background tab in Linux is called Area tab in Windows
2) Page Background does not work in Writer in Linux (i.e., that tab is
inactive). Works OK (as Area tab) in Windows
3) Selecting Master Page sidebar in Impress Linux DEB 64 crashes OO. Works OK
in Windows.
Matthias Seidel tells me that his version of OO on Linux uses Area, not Page to
apply the Page backgrounds.
The Page background problem also showed up on AOO 4.1.6 (linux DEB 64 version);
others have reported the crash with Master Pages in Impress on that version. I
have not investigated the 4.1.6 version on a Windows machine.
