TeX output crashes LibreOffice

I have a document originally written with L-O but saved in Word (.doc)
format. Eight pages, no very complex formatting. One column, section
headings, endnotes, a couple of tables. Exporting a PDF or HTML works
fine.

Trying to export in TeX format crashes L-O every time. It goes to
work, there's a progress bar across the bottom of the screen. It goes
most of the way across then hangs. If I try to stop it, I get a "this
window is not responding" message. Saving in ODT format instead did
not help; the ODT file crashes it too. Changing the "backend" field in
the menu page that comes up when exporting does not seem to help
either.

There are obvious workarounds -- for example I can export plain text
and manually apply TeX tags or export RTF and use a command-line tool
to get to TeX -- but I'd sooner not have to do that.

This happens on two different machines, both Ubuntu. This one is
Xubuntu 12.04 with "LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2)" and
all available Xubuntu updates applied. It is a 3GHz dual core i3
machine with 8 gigs RAM and SSD disks so I don't think resource limits
are the problem. The other machine is less powerful and has less
up-to-date versions of everything.

Hi :)
You might find that boosting the figures in
Tools - Options - Memory
might help.  There is certainly a LOT of room on that Xubuntu machine so pushing them up just to test the guess shouldn't be a problem. 

Definitely file a bug-report even if bumping up the memory options does work

Are you using the default settings for the export. They worked for me.

tex4ht is OK, or try to use this indirectly via LyX?
