Bug#919297: libreoffice-calc: using autofilter calc freeze, use all the memory (memory leak?)

I had hoped to find some functions that may indicate a tight loop.
Unfortunately I could not identify such one. Also my suggested dbgsym
packages might have pulled some java dependencies into the system,
wich might be unrelated, as they are in the first gdb run not visible.

Sorry for not being more specific, but installing debug symbols
for the executable and the libraries that appear in the backtraces
is enough. So that grep might have been sufficient (and have
lowered the memory consumption of gdb).

    grep -E "^#.*/lib/.*\.so" 919297_libreoffice_gdb_2019-01-21_11-01-29.txt


Are your running by any chance in a wayland session?
Then this bug might be interesting:

Also is it reproducible if you have saved the document as ods, close
all libreoffice instances and open that ods and filter there?


Kind regards,
