(ad nauseum)

The binary was launched with "libreoffice" from dmenu, and the process ID is the second highest in the libreoffice process tree.

The problem persists with the file which is attached to this bug report. I hope there is no longer any information contained that shouldn't be public.

Practical Workaround: 

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6

Build script for the package that I'm using (contains the configure flags and ):

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libreoffice-fresh&id=78188c367c802a06a933e355a12f6481f161ae1b

However I think it would be a good idea to prevent this from happen in any case.

please drop me an email if I should provide you with more information.

(contains configure flags and exact package version)
Comment 2 Buovjaga 2016-10-09 11:20:32 UTC
So the symptom for you is that the program hangs?
I don't see that effect myself (using Arch).

Btw. we could use your tracing skillz in QA: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/GetInvolved (see the last section for IRC channel).
