SEGV means there is a bug. It might be that low ram triggers the bug,
but it is still very much a bug. Not checking the return code of a
malloc call is not acceptable coding practice and should be fixed.
It could also have nothing to do with ram of course and simply be a bug
of some sort.

Well that's x86. Much less likely to have compiler bugs and such since
so many people use and test that.
So I would say there is a bug in OOo or the toolchain on arm. Given how
often java is broken on different machine types, and OOo likes using
java for stuff, it doesn't surprise me at all.
So it isn't a ram problem, just a bug. :)
