This may be a good project for me to participate in, along with people who know AOO internals. I have a lot of practical experience with tracking down and fixing extremely obscure intermittent bugs in operating systems and prototypes of cache coherent multiprocessor servers, so I'm not scared of them.

Now getting AOO to build on Windows 8.1......

Is there a Bugzilla # on this?

I did find in options that in Options\Load Save\General “Always create
  a
backup copy” was not checked. This should be checked by default. :(

a) There is an extremely obscure, semi-inconsistently ir-reproducible
bug in AOo, EO, and LibO that is triggered when "Always create backup
copy" is checked. This bug both destroys data, and prevents the backup
copy from being made.

b) Manually saving the file is superior to automated backup, precisely
one can save it to different folders, and thus rollback to earlier
states is possible. (I'm deliberately ignoring OoSVN here.)
