	Interesting; well - I built with make ENABLE_SYMBOLS=true but otherwise
a reasonably normal build (AFAICS), I don't use --enable-dbgutil myself.

	For me with:

+		 fprintf (stderr, "Crash !\n");
+                throw ::std::bad_alloc();

	I get:

./soffice -writer
Warning: -writer is deprecated.  Use --writer instead.

Crash !
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc

	And no crash handler. I guess I have a linkoo'd build perhaps something
there is causing grief.

	I attach the patch, and sample macro in case someone else has a more
'producty' build handy and wants to try.

	Incidentally, I love your crash patch :-) IMHO we badly need some unit
tests for crash recovery and a nice built-in simulated crash is rather
useful.

	HTH,

		Michael.
