Success! I can easily and quickly reproduce the problem in Natty. It isn't a time-related issue at all, simply resource-related.
Setup: On Virtualbox 4.1.2, create a 32-bit Ubuntu VM with low memory (472MB in my case). Make sure your virtual hard-drive is at least 12GB so that Ubuntu allocates enough swap space to pull this off. Install 11.04 from CD and install all updates, then reboot. Vista-32 host if that makes any difference (which I doubt). Steps to reproduce: Open up LO writer, type a few words and save the file to disk. Leave the doc open, but minimized or otherwise inactive. Open up every other app you can think of. System Monitor reported >200MB swapped for me. Go back to LO and type a mis-spelled word, followed by a space. Wait until the disk stops churning. LO has crashed with this bug. Once set up, it takes me less than ten minutes to produce another instance. I stayed on the safe side and tried to replicate the most extreme of all reported conditions. It's likely that some of the steps I list are not actually required to reproduce this, but narrowing it down will take time. I am currently upgrading the VM to oneiric to determine whether or not this is still an issue there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745836 Title: soffice.bin crashed with SIGSEGV in cppu::throwException() Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: New Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc libreoffice-calc: Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in a KDE Natty in a KDE session with the KDE integration active or GNOME is a Writer or Calc file untouched for a long period of time (ex. 1 hour+) is when one tries to edit it, the application does not crash. 4) What happens instead is it crashes.
