--- Comment #2 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> --- Thank you very much for your bug report! However, I am sorry to say so but this report makes me rather helpless. I use the same Mac OS X version (10.6.8) like you and all versions of LibreOffice, including 3.6.2.2, and I am reading most crash reports for LibreOffice on Mac OS X which have been reported here, but I have never (!) seen a similar crash log -- I mean, the stack backtrace and especially the message Application Specific Information: BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Do not close random Unix descriptors look completely new to me. This suggests to me that your problem might be not simply a bug in LibreOffice, but a problem related to some special setup on your Mac. This is confirmed by the fact that the crash does not happen in thread 0 (which is the real startup of org.libreoffice.script = LibreOffice), but in thread 1, which is about invoking com.apple.libdispatch-manager, i.e. libdispatch (a part of Mac OS X, see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Dispatch). This fits together with the fact that thread 0 = LibreOffice is about to get some process locale information (text encoding etc.) when the crash happens. Maybe some setup file on your Mac is corrupted? Searching the web for the very special message "BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Do not close random Unix descriptors", I found some reports about similar issues. Please check them yourself and try to find out if some of them helps you. IMHO especially this report looks similar to your problem: http://superuser.com/questions/121857/how-do-i-fix-libdispatch-problem-crashing-mac-os-x-apps In this report, the corrupted file seems to be ".CFUserTextEncoding". I can not know if the same could be true in your case, but it may be well worth to try removing this file first, especially because the stack backtrace shows that LibreOffice is about to get information about the text encoding right before the crash happens. The ".CFUserTextEncoding" file is invisible and located directly inside of your home folder, i.e. at /Users/<your user name>/.CFUserTextEncoding You need to use the Terminal/Shell to delete it: start Terminal, enter "ls -a" (without the quotation marks) to list your home directory and to see if the file is there (it should ;-), and then try "rm .CFUserTextEncoding"; after this, I would reboot my Mac (it does not hurt and might help). If this does not help, I don’t know how to fix this issue; reading all the websites which mention "BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Do not close random Unix descriptors", or asking some Mac expert (customer service) may be advisable. Question: Do you see similar crashes when starting other applications? Or do you face this kind of crash *only* when starting LibreOffice? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
