just from the example at:

 https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/bda799f20f10ae894860492e0a597fdea476ee5d 

you see the presented stacktrace is for libreoffice-4.2.3.3, but there are
reports for this stacktrace back to 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1. If you just look for the
line of the top frame (vcl/source/gdi/outdev3.cxx:957) in that version its at:

 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=blob;f=vcl/source/gdi/outdev3.cxx;h=f7640f8ba20452902af59123104d47c8e24cf5ae;hb=4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3b#l957

and that is obviously (and expectedly) not the real thing. As said, Im ignorant
of how stacktraces from such different versions are actually mapped to be "the
same problem".

Best,

Bjoern
