What is this backtrace?
Or is what you've wriiten KCrash output? Can you avoid it?
  

I cut and pasted the information about the backtrace from the KDE crash handler tab.

Can you check (I assume that) that it is related to the other bugs
already reported?
  

It started happening relatively recently. The first problem I noticed was that oocalc would no longer open some .ods files if I did oocalc foo.ods.  If I launched it with just oocalc (no file), it would come up but would hang if I typed something and pressed enter.

Now, it appears to crash before it ever comes up.

I've got so little to go on here that I don't know if it's similar to other bugs or not.  I've got an up-to-date unstable box.  Is there a way that I could bring it up under gdb or something to provide more useful information?
