RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: crash - crash - crash - crash. !@#$#@!

Tom,

Glad you are making progress.  Now, if we can impose a bit on you ;-)

It would be very helpful if you can now more completely characterize the remaining issue into a 
formal issue report on our Bugzilla tracker (as hosted by FreeDesktop.org but early in a migration 
to our own).

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/index.cgi   where you'd "Open a New Account"

Then, you can "File a Bug" from there against LibreOffice, selecting component of Spreadsheet, and 
setting version of 4.3.0.0.alpha1

Or alternatively, use the Bugzilla Submission Assistant as an alternative -- 
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ -- with the Bugzilla log-in just created.

All very simple, but the work/pain needed would be that attached to the new bug we'd need you to 
put a sanitized version of the problem spreadsheet that still produces the crash.  And also include 
the specific steps you perform that are resulting in the "vector::_M_range_check" crashes.  The 
better the description of steps to reproduce with the sample document, the more likely one of the 
devs will be able to pin down the specific cause of the crash.

And, since you are on Linux, you might also attach a backtrace  and strace of the crash--details 
for that are here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux

I know it will be a bit of work for you to get it submitted, but it is worth the hassle as it may 
lead to complete support for your work flows.

Post back with your Bugzilla issue ID once you get it filed.

Stuart
