hi Tomofumi,

now i remember: this bug is exactly the one i fixed in OOo in CWS
sw34bf04 (issue i102333).

the fix is not merged in libreoffice-3-4, but is in master
(230fcf4a456636bb466f72834cd57238621d206d),
but LO master still crashes while an Apache OOo 3.4 build does not crash...

i will investigate what went wrong there; Cedric, any idea what changes
could have broken it again?

i am currently not sure if your patch is the right fix; i would assume
that the cursor that points to the removed node should have been moved
away from it by ... something.

but in any case thank you for investigating...

regards,
 michael
