a user report a crash of LibreOffice when opening one of two particular
files to their team, they reply that :
> These are crashes in libwps not in LibreOffice. LibreOffice is just
> linked to libwps. You should report this particular problem to your
> distro, they probably need to either upgrade libwps (and the
> ridiculously old version of LibreOffice) or backport whatever fix
> exists in the more recent libwps which makes that version not crash
> in the same place as the old version.

I reproduced that bug, and the user said that he partially reproduced
it with libwps-0.2.9 on FreeBSD (one file crashes, the other don't)
cheers.
(the user agreed that I send those files on a public list)
