I am still suffering from this problem on FreeBSD/i386 9.1-RELEASE and
4.0.2, so I would be also interested in fixing this up.

Note that one can get a nice backtrace for the crash if libreoffice is
started with the --backtrace flag.  However, gdb(1) in the base system
is too old for this so installing gdb (7.5.1.) from the Ports
Collection is highly recommended.  But this will not work
out-of-the-box, because the launch script (libreoffice) will search
for gdb(1) as "gdb" :-)  So I have modified the script to use gdb751
instead (see a patch attached for this), and installed libthr.so with
symbols.

$ env GDB=gdb751 libreoffice --backtrace

Thus I got a file called gdbtrace.log that may help with identifying
the problem.  Please find it attached.
