Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I'm on this system:

I know. openoffice.org is not installed. But exactly that seems to be causing the openoffice writer to crash when trying to use Tools-Bibliography database.

After some research today among members om the danish ubuntu community it seems that people who DON'T experince this crash have the package openoffice.org installed. Here's a weird google translation of the thread: http://
These crashes happens regardless of architecture (32 or 64 bit) on both the LiveCD and the default ubuntu and kubuntu installations. It does not happen on Mint 9 - but that does come with the openoffice.org installed by default.
Another user just tested if the crash still happens if you install the openoffice.org package - it doesn't. So a fix is just to install that package. I'm reporting this anyway because I think it should be fixed on default install at least for 10.04.1 because it makes the ubuntu-distros look kind of bad and the fix is easy (but it probably will cost 14 MB on the liveCD).
