That number doesn't seem to exist in LibreOffice's bug tracker:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641175
But it does appear in the Ubuntu Linux bug tracker and looks related:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/641175

The equivalent in LibreOffice bug tracker appears to be #34987:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34987
Although marked as having been fixed in version 3.3.1, it does look like 
it recurred, but is fixed again in newer versions - maybe 4.0.6 in the 
4.0 series and 4.1.3 in the 4.1 series (not certain I've interpreted the 
comments correctly). So may be worth updating to 4.0.6 or 4.1.3 if 
you're not already using one of those versions.
