LO 24.8 constantly crashing on Linux

162956 – LO 24.8.0 crashing (meanwhile closed because the issue is fixed in 24.8.1)

The application crashes any time I close it with any kind of document open for editing. On restart it recovers the document(s).
Starting LO 24.8 from terminal:

$ libreoffice24.8 
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]

My Python macros and extensions do work.
