Created attachment 27937 [details] File that causes AbiWord to crash on load
you don't mention which version of abiword you are actually using. Works fine here btw.
I entered a bug report with the AbiWord developers, and they said that the problem is fixed in CVS and the fix will be available with the 2.0.6 release. I'll wait for 2.0.6 to appear in Portage and test again then.
waiting for 2.0.6
