Hi,
I was strugeling with this bug over a year. What I figured out is that it always crashed when I had some documents open and I was not working with the libreoffice for some time. When I came back to write a word o to save the document o to paste information the libreoffice crashed.
I had the home-directory encrypted.
When the .libreoffice-directory is encrypted the libreoffice will often crash. So I moved this directory to a non-encryped directoy and there were no more crashes.
I had the crashes with all versions of libreoffice and openoffice 3.0 and higher. This was the version when y encryped my home-directory upgrading to ubuntu 10.04.
I hope this will help to fix this bug soon.
I guess there is a timeout while openoffice is waiting for some information from the encrypted config-directory. As the information is not coming on time the program crashes by whatever.

My solution was after waiting for over one year of a bugfix to decrypt my home-directory. This is what I did today. Hope that this will fix this bug for me.
Bye
