debian 9 libreoffice writer fails to start in 32bit inst.

It's admirable to file a bug report but you should check if one has already been filed. There are now at least five for this bug starting from June 20.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=865303

There is also a workaround suggested that doesn't require removing packages https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... 865303#230 -

I've been discussing this regression with upstream develo[pers. It's
now understood and we have several possible fixes but we have not yet
settled on the best one.

You should also be able to work around it by temporarily disabling the
Stack Clash fix using the kernel parameter stack_guard_gap=1

I've had the same problem. To fix it, go into another LibreOffice app (eg LibreOffice Calc). Click on Tools -> Options -> Advanced. Deselect "Use a java runtime enviroment".

I'm a newbie and I learnt an easy workround for this problem. Open Libre Office in the terminal with: libreoffice --global. Works every time.
