--- Comment #8 from helplibreoff...@mailcatch.com ---
Still interested in the answer to question in comment #7 above, but for now
must stop all testing.

So here's the report of what I've worked on; hopefully it will help others:

Can get LO Calc to crash when exiting on multiple Win 7 SP1 64-bit systems.

As soon as it looks like it is reproducible on every system, it will suddenly
stop crashing (when starting the testing with a new profile).

This suggests one of 3 possibilities off the top of my head:
1) Self-healing: something breaks, but it fixes itself by design
2) Timing is critical: small differences in timing of operations may cause
different results
3) Conflict: another process is preventing LO to work as designed

Current guess:  Now, this is just a guess, but I'm thinking that an Antivirus
program is sometimes interfering with LO writing its profile files, thus
causing frequent profile corruption.  I noticed that every system with the
problem was running Avast Antivirus 2015.10.2.2218 (their current release as of
this post).  This could be a coincidence, I'm not sure.  Often, when LO Calc
was running (and after it exited), Avast was performing a large number of
real-time scans of LO files.

At this time, it appears that repeating identical procedures results in
different outcomes.  Sometimes LO Calc works as expected, and sometimes it
crashes.  But once it gets into "crash mode", the crashes seem to be easily
reproducible.  I haven't had enough time to determine what causes LO to get
into "crash mode", and I must now switch tasks.  Well, actually I needed to
switch tasks hours ago... :O
