soffice.bin crashed with SIGSEGV in JNI_CreateJavaVM()

[Seth Forshee]

Steps to reproduce, copied from bug #1699772:

You need to install libreoffice-base (which is not installed by default, and pulls in all the java dependencies), then run it with "libreoffice --base", go through the initial wizard to create a new HSQLDB database, and that's when the crash happens.

Seems to be a stack overflow:

eax 0xbf3fbfe0 -1086341152

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

no debug symbol package found for openjdk-11-jre-headless
no debug symbol package found for libgssapi-krb5-2
no debug symbol package found for libogg0
no debug symbol package found for libkrb5-3
no debug symbol package found for libkrb5support0
no debug symbol package found for libk5crypto3

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Seems like the issue is actually fairly well established at this point, duping this to 1699772.
