Closing it seems like a reasonable thing to do Alex.  I was unable to setup a
test database that illustrated the problems and didn't have sensitive info.  

I have continued using my split database and have done a lot of work adding
"location" data from friends - adding something like 4000 records, editing
them, etc.  I have also used other parts of the database adding records,
editing etc.  My total time working with it is at least 80 hours.  I have had
NO CRASHES!!!!  What a relief!!!  Yes, there are some minor inconveniences
using a split database -- for example one cannot modify tables after they are
created.  It would be nice to be able to edit the "Description" for each of the
variables at a later date.

BTW, your first line in the post is concerning ("legendary instability") - Is
this one of the reasons for switching to Firebird?  It may be worthwhile to
think about the "root-cause" of the embedded database problems.  Is it hysqldb
1,8 OR something else in the linkage between it and libreoffice.  I would think
that the Firebird group should be inetersted/concerned/something...
