Crash when opening any PPT file

Created attachment 86428 [details] Sample PPT file for testing but crash occurs with any PPT All PPT files crash AOO 4.2.0 on opening on my Windows 7 x64 machine (tested with Rev. 1831525 from mseidel and also with Rev. 1832057 from the Buildbot) There is no problem with ODP or PPTX. This is a confirmed (by mseidel) regression from 4.1.5
Confirmed with every PPT I tried. Even if you save an ODP as PPT and then try to open it AOO crashes. This seems to be Windows only.
Further details: if another file has already been open (e.g. an ODS file) even if it is closed before opening a PPT file then AOO will not crash. The crash occurs if AOO is open without any file been previously opened or when AOO is closed (open by file association)
Crash still occurs every time under Windows 7 x64 with Matthias' build AOO420m2(Build:9821) - Rev. d08390903b 2019-10-22 20:51 - CYGWIN_NT-10.0 x86_64 - Development Test Build
I have tried today with my Linux build based on trunk and it did work. Is it a Windows only Issue or is it specific to 4.2.0 and Trunk it works? I will check if I can do a windows build in the next days. (Sidenote: When opening a ppt, I get tons of Assertion errors.)
I am pretty sure that this is Windows only, And it is a regression, so trunk and 4.2.0 are broken.
