I would reinstall libreoffice, kate, and all of their dependencies
before going too far into this.
It's quite possibly that your bad drive had a bad sector or similar in
one or more of these programs... especially since you didn't experience
these segfaults before, and no one else has either.
Something like:
aptitude reinstall '?reverse-Depends(libreoffice)~i';
aptitude reinstall '?reverse-Depends(kate)~i';
will do that for you.
If they still occur, enable coredumps, and get a backtrace of the
coredump using gdb or similar. [You'll also want to install all of the
-dbg packages you can for the libraries referenced in the backtrace.]
