Description Telesto 2017-04-09 10:45:42 UTC 
Description:
LibreOffice is quite unstable after (one or more) large files are opened. I always get it to crash at some point. Simply crash; crashing will opening a file with bad alloc or osl::Thread::create failed. Only getting to the tipping point is quite hard and inconsistent. Sometimes opening a second large file is enough, sometimes I have to open multiple small and large files.  

If the crash happens while loading the file, memory usage mostly at 1,2 GB or more. And it seems to me its happening when loading is nearly done (when LibO is freeing memory). Bad alloc

If the crash is happening when trying to open a file: the File button stops responding; scrolling in one of the opened documents will create a crash (osl::Thread::create failed)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.2/GS52-GettingStartedLO.odt
2. Open http://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.2/GS52-GettingStartedLO.pdf
3. Scroll a bit around in Draw PDF
4. Open a new Writer document
5. Open an existing document
6. Open a copy of http://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.2/GS52-GettingStartedLO.pdf
7. Open some LibO file..
8. Open a new document paste something from the web.
9. Open a copy of http://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.2/GS52-GettingStartedLO.odt

Tipping point is mostly at step 6

Actual Results:  
A crash. Without warning. With bad alloc or osl::Thread::create failed

Expected Results:
No crash


Reproducible: Always

Same crash (bad alloc) will also occur with Calc, when opening two copies of this spreadsheet (attachment 130698 [details], bug 105491)
Comment 3 Markus Mohrhard 2017-04-09 20:34:56 UTC 
std::bad_alloc is an out of memory error.
