Yes. That took more than expected, sorry for the delay.

Debian 7 apparently does not allow to remove Libreoffice packages coming from
their repository without taking down GNOME3 itself. I had no time to test a
mixed setup on that same workstation.

The tests continued within a lower priority x86_64 machine, a PearOS6.1 (Ubuntu
12.04 derivative) which was born with an old LO3 so seldom used I couldn't tell
when the last time was. A freshly downloaded LO4.2.4.2 (thanks for the direct
link) was put in place even before thinking to test LO3 itself. The problem
turned to be reproduceable with no differences at all.

Analysis details follow.

The splash screen with the progress bar will just disappear while the progress
bar is still incomplete and nothing more will happen. The segfault is silent,
so difficult to detect that one could doubt that an error of such magnitude
actually took place. If you launch LO from a terminal window, you will get
nothing on stdout nor stderr. Check the dmesg command for the latest system
events, and it's there.

The output from 'strace -f loffice' will report the open system call for the
offending font (the one provided or, supposedly, any other one causing the same
effect) just a few lines before the segfault. That was the only hint suggesting
to remove the last font accessed by the application.

That was not needed, as the old and new version of LO on the test system are
different by major release. Removing the two offending fonts (which were
already on place, as I periodically rsynced some data from a network share) was
sufficient.

Now. Thanks for your attention.
