Errror on exit messages

This has been reported for earlier release versions, then listed as "solved" because it could not reproduced on a later version. 
This is the latest general release version of LibreOffice 4 and the error is still present. 

Exiting LibreOffice after closing file causes a pop-error message. Message refers to memory read error, but exact content can vary, I have attached two examples.

PLEASE NOTE: Those of us who are dependent on Windows XP run in a VMware VM CANNOT UPDATE TO VERSION 5 OF LIBREOFFICE, which has become a huge memory hog. It is imperative that Document Foundation (who I am a monetary supporter of) maintain version 4. Thanks!

If you take a look to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan, you'll see that 4.4.7 version is the last TDF official version of 4.4 branch.

Now, you have several choices:
- debug yourself the problem with 4.4 sources
- pay some people to do it
- contributing on > 5.0 branch by providing bugtrackers so you may help to tackle these memory problems. Of course test last stable version, 5.0.4, before reporting these. (you'll need XP SP3 according to this link: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/#windows)

I forgot to indicate that the first test was to give a try after having renaming your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Windows)
Also, you may attach some files so we can give it a try (have in mind that any attachment is automatically made public so remove any private/confidential part from it, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Sanitizing_Files_Before_Submission)

Paying TDF will not get you updates to 4.4.x.
Paying some of these guys will: https://www.documentfoundation.org/certification/developers/

We don't really terminate very cleanly. I've submitted https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/35071/ to gerrit, code is very isolated and I guess it might help here.

Bug 106489 discusses the issue around osl_terminateProcess.

Moving to NEW as Chris is working on it...

Since we have a single reporter and we cannot reproduce this and there was a fix in Bug 106489, I'll set to Needinfo. 
But if a reporter is still with LO 4.4 and not with 5.4 or more, than we'll have to close this one.
Comment 8 Timur 2018-07-16 17:25:37 UTC
Since you didn't respond, I'll close. 
If you answer, please set back to Unconfirmed.
