Do you have reason to think that the crashes are Orca-related? If you're
running a development version of OO.O, then crashes shouldn't be surprising -
it might not be connected with Orca n any way.

The only way to find out that I am aware of is to install debug symbols for
OO.O and obtain a core file, then use gdb to get a backtrace from the core
file.

will enable core dumps; then start OO.O in the same terminal from which you
issued this command.

I don't know whether your Linux distribution gives you the debug symbols,
without which you won't easily be able to extract reliable information for the
OO.O people.
