log file mentioned above

I had a suspicion that the .ods in question was corrupt as there were some key functions like merge and center that just wouldn't work regardless.  So I tried to save it as a new ods(ie: filenameA.ods instead of filename.ods) and it crashes libre completely without saving the new document.

Here's the error message I received from cli

[error occurred during error reporting , id 0xb]

It should be noted that I am able to save the potentially corrupt file as an .xls and then save that file as an .ods without issue.  However even after saving the file to .xls and then to a new ods I can't merge and center cells :(

I've attached the log file as well and I have filed this bug over at the java bugzilla (http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1066) just incase it was more a java issue than a libreoffice issue.. however considering that saving to .xls causes no crash I was tempted to think it was more to do with LO than java.
