+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99258
+ cannot reproduce myself (cloph), but crash on startup would be bad...
+ non-release-config tinderbox is fine, release-style box shows the problem
+ 3-4 bugs can reproduce, but nobody from the QA team :-( (Cloph)
+ so far only guessing
+ looks like configuration setting makes a difference, maybe related
to OpenGL (Cloph)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49853
+ paste to find bar (or other toolbar edit boxin Mac OSX broken
+ Maxim probably found the cause (Cloph)
