Okay, sounds good.  Well, maybe not.

If a bug, even a severe crash bug like this one, cannot be reliably reproduced,
is it best just not to report it?  For non-reproducible bugs, it seems like it
is a waste of the bug-reporter's time to compose a detailed report.

I made it a priority to stop my work and file a bug report to help the
LibreOffice community.  I spent my time writing all the details.  I provided
the exact steps I took that fixed the issue.  To someone more familiar with the
LibreOffice code, that info may hold the key to understanding the problem.  If
this bug is flagged RESOLVED-WORKSFORME, we will never know, because no one
will ever read it.

The bug is definitely present.  I don't think it's in LibreOffice's best
interest to mark known bugs as RESOLVED.  Marking it as UNCONFIRMED is
appropriate, because it has not been confirmed by another party (well, except
for everyone at the client's office who lost confidence in LibreOffice as they
watched it crash repeatedly).

I truly understand that it makes life much easier when a bug can be reliably
reproduced, but the most challenging bugs are not like that.
