No joy using valgrind as installed via apt-get, the switches recommended by 
"Valgrinding OOo" aren't all recognized so I ended up using this:
 cd /usr/bin
 valgrind --trace-children=yes --db-attach=yes ./soffice

Unfortunately this doesn't always open OOo consistently and so I don't
believe it will allow me to really simulate the problem.

I will try now with GDB.

IMHO the error message Simon detected above, really does not look like
it is related to the problem, but perhaps the package maintainer could
comment?

Meanwhile, on the new machine, I can now reproduce the problem with 100% 
certainty.
 1. Open (and work on) at least one OOo document (writer or calc).  The 
document does not need to be large, for instance a 2-page writer document is 
sufficient.
 2. Leaving the document open, hibernate the laptop from the shutdown menu
 3. Resume the laptop from hibernate and then ALT-TAB to the OOo screen.  Just 
as you start to try and do something on the document (even something as simple 
as scrolling down), OOo will bail.
 4. As a contra-experiment, I CANNOT reproduce this behaviour on the new 
machine yet UNLESS I have first hibernated.  This may be because I have not yet 
doing any large copy-pastes - but I HAVE been opening some very large 
spreadsheets, without problem.
