It’s been reported in debian that libreoffice writer is crashing at startup with java enabled, on 32 bits only with their latest kernel update. This smells like the same issue, and one that is affecting the actual application, not just the unit tests. See https://bugs.debian.org /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865303 for details.
