Michael,
Sorry to be slow responding. I have not been ignoring you
just for the sake of ignoring you.

I suspect the cause may be like a couple of bugs which I
created and then marked INVALID; bug 40312 tells the story.
So, I am holding off on this one.

I have created and then resolved INVALID,
(*) bug 40309 "SIGSEGV in Base, after clicking Queries
button"
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40309>
(*) but 40312 "SIGSEGV closing Base"
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40309>
Short version: PEBCAK in that I forgot to source
install/program/ooenv. At least, I do not know that I have
seen a SEGV after I did source ooenv.
Meanwhile, I have asked on the discussion list whether LO
should be more helpful in the face of an error like this.

Extrapolating from Caolán's answer to another of my
questions, I tried valgrind to look at the first of these
SEGVs. Two hours later, I was nowhere near the point of
(previous) failure. I gave up.

Heh, heh, heh.
Along the way to reporting the first SIGSEGV, the one which
I am holding back, I wanted to print an excerpt from the
notes I made at the time. This led to bug 40258 "Writer
PRINTING a paragraph like following list"
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40258>,
But of course, before creating bug 40258, I wanted to try
the same printing with my local build. The result is bug
40237 "crash, SIGPIPE after suspend/resume or switch users"
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40237>.
But of course, before creating bug 40273, I did a bug
search, finding bug 34769 "very slow after hibernate"
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34769> and
ubuntu bug 606558 "switching user while Compiz enabled make
OpenOffice.org crawl (extremely slow scrolling)"
<https://launchpad.net/bugs/606558>. That would have been
okay, except that I got caught up in the suspicion that
suspend/resume contributed to my SEGVs. I wasted quite some
time on that with entirely negative results.

Before very long, I shall have to learn about unit test. At
least, I hope that I shall have to.
Thanks,
Terry.
