To replicate the problem: Ensure you are using and Apple Mac system with OSX 10.11.* (El Capitan) Have LO 5.1.0.1 and JRE 1.8.0_60 installed Go to this URL https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61183 which specifies how to create a split database download the split database wizard file: Split_HSQLDB_2.3.2_Wizard_v3d.odb Attempt to open this odb and see that you system has frozen and locked up. The only way to recover you system other than a reboot (you are unable to Force Quit) is to have the Activity monitor running and abort the LO process. FYI the activity monitor reports >100% CPU for the LO process. NB I have tried to make this problem as simple as possible to reproduce if necessary I can make available my split database application which successfully runs unchanged on all OSXs except 10.11, windows 7 & 10, ubuntu 14.10 with various versions of LO (both Fress & Still) and several recent version of the JRE. When attempting to open this application in the bug-report-environment it exhibits the same lock system freeze. My conclusion is that there is a serious initiation problem with OSX 10.11 & LO/Java when attempting to open a split database.
@jay : do you also have Apple Java 1.6 for OSX ?
@jay : the split database odb file uses macros to setup the environment. I imagine, although I haven't inspected the macro code, that it does this on first load. There is currently a bug in OSX versions of LibreOffice that prevents onOpen/onLoad events from firing. This could be the reason, or one of the reasons why this particular ODB file doesn't open properly and eventually causes LO to use up all system resources.
No repro Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 330127baf96c417e0eeaef9808d124788b547cf3 CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: -; UI Render: default; Locale: fr-FR (fr.UTF-8) OSX 10.11.2 Oracle Java JDK 1.8.0_66 Apple Java 1.6 for OSX hsqldb 2.3.2 JAR added to my JAR archive path I can create a split database from the ground up, create a table, for example, the DVD-Collection, add data - it works.
I can however confirm that the SplitDatabase.odb file uses macros which require onLoad or onOpen events to be detected. This is currently a bug, reported as bug 95191
Note that I'm using an Oracle JDK and not a JRE.

If possible could you please point me in the direction of LO Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ I would like to install this and re-create your environment detailed above and test with my split application database In anticipation - thanks
