Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Random crashes with Libre Office Writer (strace included)

Hi :)
Is it possible to find a bug-report about this issue and upload the straces to 
there?  That might help  developers to see the strace.  There are few devs on 
the Users List.
Regards from
Tom :)

The one that crashed in the beggining, it looks like it was loading some
UNO stuff, the other two (the second you linked now and the other you
linked in an earlier message) crash after trying to load autocorrection
data (that does not exist):

Maybe more experienced people (developers?) can tell what's wrong from
the straces.

But as straces just show system calls, they don't show *exactly* where
did the problem occur (or, more correctly, where did it explode).

If you can try getting a backtrace, it'll probably be useful too. The
problem is that for a complete, human-readable backtrace you need LibO
debug packages. See:
