Thank you for spending the time to help me debug this crashing bug. I definitely undersand that running several test patches to help find the exact code that causes crashing bugs can be very time consuming.
Unforrtunately, the Console log had the following message. This mesage means that the important debugging messages that my test patch logged were never sent to the Console application:
| Code: | | 18-09-11 12:56:36,071 [0x0-0x70070].org.neooffice.NeoOffice: *** process 2615 exceeded 500 log message per second limit - remaining messages this second discarded *** |
To workaround this Console application problem, can you launch NeoOffice from the Terminal application? To do this, launch the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal application, paste the following command into the Terminal window, and press the Return:
| Code: | | /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice.bin |
Once NeoOffice is fully launched, drag your .docx onto the Mac OS X application icon in the Dock and wait for NeoOffice to crash.
All of the messages that I need will be appear in the Terminal window so copy all of the messages added in the Console application window and post those messages.

No, unfortunately it still crashes. See attached crash log. Terminal.app gave no additional info, just:
[giskard:~]3: /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice.bin
Invalid memory access of location 0x24 eip=0x24044cb9
Bus error

From your crash log, I think that my fix has merely exposed another crashing bug further along in the code so I have recompiled the code to generate more verbose crash logs like in some of my earlier test patches.
Can you generate a new crash log using the following test patch? There will no Console or Terminal messages in this test patch:

Although I don't have a fix yet, I have some good news: OpenOffice.org bug 111652 appears to be the same crashing bug that you are seeing.
That OpenOffice.org bug has 2 sample documents that I can use to reproduce this bug so I should be able to continue debugging and hopefully implement a fix myself.
So, when I have a fix that works on my machine, I will post a test patch. Please be patient as it may take 24 to 48 hours to find the OpenOffice.org fix and merge it back into the older OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 code that NeoOffice uses. But when I post the next patch, it should contain a fix for this bug.

I think that I have fixed this bug in the following test patch. Please be aware that I could not merge the fixes for just that one OpenOffice.org bug so I had to backport the entire LibreOffice 3.3.4.1 .docx import code.
Does the following test patch fix the crashing for you? If so, can you verify that all of your .docx files still open without any problems as well?:

Hi Patrick,
The crashes are gone, so well done! I have tried a few other docx files which did not crash previously, and they are still ok.
There is only one odd thing: these two 'crashing' docx files load fine, but when closing them they act like they are modified and NeoOffice asks if I want to save them. This is not the case with other docx files. If I save them as docx, and then reopen them, NeoOffice crashes again. I have attached the crash report.
On the other hand, if I save them in odt format, they open fine. So for me, this new crash is not important. However, if you want to investigate it I'd be happy to run more test patches.
Kind regards,
Ben |

I will investigate both issues as I suspect that they are a result of merging newer LibreOffice code into NeoOffice's older OpenOffice.org code.
I will post again when I have some news to report.

I found what is causing some documents to be marked as modified: if you have a table of contents in a .docx document, NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code will automatically invoke the Tools :: Update :: Update All menu. This, in turn, updates the table of contents which modifies the document.
As for the crash, I cannot reproduce it with the documents in OpenOffice.org bug 111652 so can you install the following test patch, open the .docx file that causes this new crash, and attach the crash log? This test patch does not fix anything but it will make the crash log more verbose so that I can find the code where the crash is occurring:
