Thanks for following up. I've updated to the PPA version of libreoffice (1:4.1.4~rc2-0ubuntu1~saucy1~ppa1). I'll report back if the problem happens again. I'm not sure I will locate a file that consistently demonstrates the problem--it has happened with a range of short and long text documents and spreadsheets with no common denominator that I can discern. I'm not sure it's every happened twice with the same document open.

I've since commented out the offending line in Apport. A few days ago while using a calc spreadsheet, LibreOffice crashed, and when I opened it again, it restored a backup file that was several hours old. It also restored an old version of a Writer file. I closed both and found that in both instances I had saved much more recent versions using ctrl-S. Today the same thing happened, but unfortunately it was much worse, recovering a backup file that was several days old. Because of these frequent crashes, I've gotten into the habit of hitting Ctrl-S non- stop, and I immediately did so and saved the document. That one move lost me all my writing over the past 3 days, and the file immediately synched to Ubuntu One so my own backup no longer exists. Strangely, in the same crash LibreOffice restored the most recent edits of another file I had recently edited. So even within the same crash it doesn't revert all documents to very old versions. Please fix this--I really can't use LibreOffice if the backup function destroys my work despite my constant saving and backing up to Ubuntu One.
