--- Comment #19 from Keith Refson <[email protected]> ---
I found this bug report when investigating near identical symptoms with LO
5.1.3

under OpenSuse Leap 42.1

I have a partial diagnosis and a cure.  I generated a valgrind trace which
pointed to "Invalid Read"s in a Python library.

Starting LO with an empty PYTHONPATH cures the crash.  So it seems that the
problem was an interaction with one of the components - quickly narrowed down
to
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages and the file "setuptools.pth".

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  33 Sep 12  2012 setuptools.pth

Rather incredibly stupidly I managed to nuke the file in the act of narrowing
among the files in the directory. So I can't see the contents.  D'oh. My guess
was that this was a link to a directory which no longer exists.

In any case it seems clear that (at least in my case) the cause was LO picking
up bad data from the Python environment.
