That specific crash has been reported both on debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865303) and ubuntu (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1702165). It started happening with a recent linux kernel update related to stack clash fixes (see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1699772). Subsequent kernel updates appear to have fixed all userspace apps affected by that crash, except for libreoffice on x86, which is still crashing. Libreoffice on x86-64 is fine.

I can reliably reproduce the crash in an Ubuntu 17.04 x86 virtual machine by ensuring that java is enabled in libreoffice's advanced options (using the openjdk-8 package), launching base and creating a new database.

A full backtrace with debug symbols is available there: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/326892034/libreoffice-base-zesty-full-backtrace.txt.
