Two sample documents that will crash with 6.2.0 if compared
If I compare two versions of my manuscript in LO, writer crashes.
I thought I'd try the feature again, despite

title="NEW - EDITING: Compare documents on near-identical files flags 99.9% of the contents as different"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=102616">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102616</a>, in the hope that
problem might have been fixed.
It hasn't (after recovering from the crash, almost the entire document is
marked as changed, despite the changes to the *text* being relatively small),
as 99% of the text is marked as different.
But as well, now LO crashes when I try to compare them.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the provided (obfuscated) MS VC-obfusc-4x7.odt
2. Compare with document VC-obfusc-5x8.odt
Results:
LO instantly crashes.
I'm only reporting this for your interest, because while filling out the bug
report I downloaded and installed LO 6.2.3.2, and I'm glad to say the crashing
bug has been fixed.
If other users of 6.2.0.3 suffer the same problem, at least they'll know an
upgrade to 6.2.3.2 will fix the crashing.</pre>
