Description Terrence Enger 2017-04-14 19:04:47 UTC 
Description:
As per summary.

Steps to Reproduce:
(1) Create /tmp/a01.odt as empty document.

(2) Open that file, setting OOO_EXIT_POST_STARTUP=1.  My command line
    was (all one line, rewrapped for readability) ...

        SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen OOO_EXIT_POST_STARTUP=1
            instdir/program/soffice --norestore --nologo /tmp/a01.odt


Actual Results:  
In terminal, error messages ...
    *** ERROR: DO NOT call xmlCleanupParser()
    Application Error
    Fatal exception: Signal 6
and a core file.

Expected Results:
Return to command line without error message and without, in
particular, a core file.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
The soon-to-be-attached backtrace is from a local build of commit
7e03a22b, pulled 2017-04-08, configured ...
    CC=ccache /usr/bin/gcc
    CXX=ccache /usr/bin/g++

    --without-package-format
built and running on debian-stretch.  I see similar results in recent
versions of daily Linux dbgutil bibisect repository.

Other LibreOffice applications also either crash or hang with low CPU
usage.

Other bug reports show that people are mostly using
OOO_EXIT_POST_STARTUP=1 successfully.  (Bug 104816 comment 13 is an
exception.)  I wonder what is different about my setup.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I got a crash too
when doing this:
export OOO_EXIT_POST_STARTUP=1

make debugrun
then on gdb "run"

Terrence: there's no comment 13 in tdf#104816, wrong ref?
Comment 4 Terrence Enger 2017-04-16 17:02:08 UTC 
I meant bug 86448 comment 5.  Sorry about that, Julien.

No pb :-)
This quoted comment is quite old.
Do you have some refs about working examples just to compare?
Indeed, I'm quite surprised to have a bt without creating any file, using gen rendering.
Comment 6 Terrence Enger 2017-04-16 18:39:03 UTC 
No, this has never worked for me.
Comment 7 Terrence Enger 2017-05-31 19:59:14 UTC 
I have found command-line argument --eventtesting, which seems to
accomplish the same end, and it does not crash for me.

Since I having this workaround and many users seem to be working
without the crash, I am setting status RESOLVED WONTFIX.
