LibreOffice Writer 4.2.4.2 crashes on startup on Kubuntu 13.10 64 bits, if I close and try to open it again several times it will work correctly one out of five (1/5) more or less, so it's really annoying. 

When the application is opened it gets freezed and I have to close it killing the process.

Reproducible: Always (just try to open it several times)

The Ubuntu changelog for 4.2.4~rc2 has the following:

  * remove temporary revert fdo-77128-lp-1300283.diff, which now has a more
    proper upstream fix

but the actual fix for that didn't get into 4.2.4.
