Created attachment 121370 [details] Crash DBase - bad allocation error LibreOffice 5.0.4 crashes opening the attached .dbf file (DBase). Message window: "Fatal error - Bad Allocation" LO quits and file can't be opened. Wordpad/Notepad can open it: document is not corrupted.
No crash with Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: de9d0e797903e7ecc19be2b05c7e89d5936ae02d Threads 4; Ver: Linux 4.2; Render: default; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-12-03_04:13:00
What means not corrupted, open the file with wordpad seems more a CSV file, they are not fields definition at the beginning of file, what I think it's mandatory for a dbf file. Changing the extension to csv open fine with LibreOffice, but I don't know if in this case the data are the expected. For me not a bug.

I found this file on the web as is, I don't know if it's dbf or CSV, but LO should't CRASH for that reason. For me it's a bug about stability, a simple "I can't open this file - wrong format" is enough :)
I forget to mention, that I can't reproduce the crash. Please try resetting the user profile, sometimes solves strange issues. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Usually it's enough renaming/deleting the file "user/registrymodifications.xcu", it affect all the options in Menu/Tools/Options, and the files "user/basic/dialog.xlc" and "scrip.xlc" are overwritten, additionally custom colors in "user/config/standard.soc" are lost.
