soffice.bin crashed with SIGSEGV in uno_type_sequence_construct()

[dino99]

I'm using calc every day, and get ram eaten and 100 % cpu used after a while (> 15 minutes), then it freeze itself and sometimes give a crash like that one.
This is happening on Quantal i386 logged as gnome-classic (unity fully purged, and no ppa)

A possible related report is bug #1041354

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Yotam Benshalom (benshalom)]

I get a similar freeze with high cpu (not crash though) with 64-bit libre office, also after several minutes. This happens under gnome-classic, so it is not necessarily related to bug #1041354 which is relevant to unity.

[Michael Kuhlmann (kuhlmann-michael)]

The same here on amd64. High cpu load, but no real crash.

dino99, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.

Does this issue occur only with specific Calc files?

Could you please provide the information noted in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOfficeBugWrangling#Sample_Bug_Reporting_Template ?

from bug #1041354 , comment from Ryan Lortie:

The new libreoffice upload is causing this. It updates its menubar once per second, which it does by completely removing and readding all menu items and actions. The resulting thrash is what causes the panel to use 100%.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1041354/comments/7

and again:
- lo-menubar is not installed
- libreoffice-gtk is to blame (but removing it is not a usable solution, as icons becomes inactive)
- this is with genuine packages.

marking as duplicate of bug 1041354 -- same root cause and this stacktrace is of little use/corrupted.
