--- Comment #13 from David Ronis <[email protected]> ---
I tried again (moved ~/.config/lilbreoffice away and restarted from scratch).  
 I added various extensions and then tried to crash LO.   This time it worked! 
 It seems that LO is very sensitive to finding temporary files like those in
the cache.   That makes even more sense in my setup in that I use rsync to 
synchronize the ~/.config/libreoffice tree across my work and home machines and
my laptop.   I suspect that if one of them gets broken (e.g., a cache file is
corrupted during a crash) then they all go down.  

As a test, I made .config/libreoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache unreadable and
unwritable with (chmod 0 cache),  the crash comes back.

Several suggestions/questions:

Shouldn't LO check to see if there is a usable cache file (or directory) and if
not simply create it?   As an extreme example, shouldn't I be able to delete
all of .config/libreoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache and still start a fresh LO
session?

A better error message is required (perhaps as a popup) giving an option to
make cache read/write enabled or to recreate it from scratch.

In any event, thanks for all you help.
