I can easily reproduce this problem on my Toshiba L300D laptop. I am running Maverick with ecryptfs home directory. I just have to put the original 1GB RAM in, launch Ubuntu and OOo and then work with memory intensive applications. This causes swap to populate and then any action to any open OOo documents that are open will cause OOo to crash. It it much harder to force it to crash with 4GB of RAM so for now, that is my work-around. These crashes apparently affect both OOo and Libre the same.
