Thanks for the good advice. On the chance that others are having similar

It seems to be a problem with any file have opened up in ver. 4.2. However I
also notice that if I open a file created in  ver. 4.1 and then open one of
the problematic files I can work a bit longer before the ver. 4.2 file
begins to grab memory. My next test was to delete to delete version 4.2,
clean the registry of all references to LibreOffice, and install ver. 4.1.
At first I was having the same problem, but after working with the files for
while it seems that the memory grab happens much, much less frequently.

As soon as I get far enough along on my own project, I'll return to this,
and if version 4.2 containers to give trouble I'll definitely send in a bug
report,

Will do. I also have dump files I can attach - I'll ask that when I submit
the report.

As indicated above, things are much better in ver. 4.1. Thanks again for the
suggestions - edo1
