Description Terrence Enger 2013-12-30 20:11:49 UTC 
STR:

(1) Execute soffice with parameters like
        --norestore -env:UserInstallation=file:/tmp/thing
    (Note that a well-formed URL would have two more slashes.)

    Actual result:  Program aborts on Signal 6 (SIGABRT).


Note for comparison:

(*) The same ommision of slashes in a filename parameter does not
    cause a crash.  LibreOffice even opens the file,.

(*) The same -env parameter does not crash LibreOffice distributed
    with debian-wheezy (version 3.5.4.2).  The program even creates
    the named directory.


These observations are from master commit 480c7c2, fetched 2013-12-27
02:33 UTC, configured as:
    --enable-option-checking=fatal
    --enable-dbgutil
    --enable-crashdump
    --without-system-postgresql
    --without-myspell-dicts
    --with-extra-buildid
    --without-doxygen
    --with-external-tar=/home/terry/lo_hacking/git/src
built and executing on debian-wheezy 64-bit.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I can reproduce this.

Stephan: by taking a look at configmgr/source/components.cxx, I thought you might be interested in this one.

-env:UserInstallation is not considered an end-user feature
