In the hope it can be useful, please see here: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/pull/116 Apparently, Linux crashes because certain stacks are pop()-ed without ever being push()-ed before. My personal theory is that Windows's standard library may add some implicit checks, and for this reason Windows builds do not seem to crash. The PR addresses the ``symptoms'' of a wrong parsing. The parsing itself should be fixed, but maybe this ``quick&dirty'' fix is ok for a minor release, if it avoids a blatant crash? I hope it can be useful. It applies to trunk and AOO419 so it should be easily integrated ``at the last minute'' if we found it's worth it.
