BTW I did fix one such crash case just yesterday, but there may be
lurking more.

One word of caution: if you are building from master, stability is the
last thing you should expect. ;-)  The master branch undergoes massive
unsafe changes, so crashes like this are probably common place.  If you
can fix it and send us a patch, wonderful.  Please do it and we'll
appreciate it a lot!  But if you just want to build and use it for your
daily productivity needs, then try the libreoffice-3-3 branch (or
libreoffice-3-3-0 is which for the 3.3.0 final and considered very
stable).

HTH,
