Dear Maintainer,

Setup : Debian testing running on core i7 + 16 GB RAM, *updated daily.*

I use libreoffice-base to update *daily* a small sqlite database accessed via
an ODBC link.

This setup has been stable for more than 3 years. I usually start my daily
update by opening Libreoffice's main interface, then opening the relevant
database object in this interface, then opening the relevant form.

Starting today :

     - libreoffice crashed when opening the database object in the main
libreoffice interface.

     - Starting libreoffice from a command line leads to the same result, with
no error message in the console.

    - Starting directly `lobase` from the command line opens the dialog box
allowing to select the right (existing) database, then fails, opening a message
box mentioning the crash and displaying an empty list  of files to be recovered
; clicking "OK" leads to the main Libreoffice interface. Trying again to open
the database objects crashes libreoffice. *No error message in the terminal.*

    - Same behaviour when passing the `.odb` database file as an argument to
`lobase`.

FWIW :

```

In fact, both submission worked, but the second is but a duplicate of the first.

My apologies for the noise...

Hi,

I also experienced a crash when trying to open an .odb-File with
libreoffice. Strange enough, everything works ok, when I purge the package

libreoffice-gtk3

Otmar
