    I wasn't successful in entering the AbiWord section of bugzilla, so I am
    posting the bug information here.

    Attached to this E-mail message please find the drwtsn32.log (MS-Windows
    error log) which was created when AbiWord.exe of this AbiWord build
    crashed in my system.

    Apparently there is some problem with fribidi_get_mirror_char() but I am
    not sure I understand correctly the information provided by drwtsn32.

    My environment (again):
    AbiWord crashes upon startup, and MS-Windows 2000 reports having to close
    it for me.
    MS-Windows 2000 with SP2, and with Hebrew.
    AbiWord build 1.1.2.1104 installed from setup_abiword.exe (after
    uninstalling previous version).
    msvcr70.dll, downloaded from the same place setup_abiword.exe, is together
    with AbiWord.exe in C:\Program Files\AbiSuite1\AbiWord\bin (in previous
    builds it worked for me). It is 344064 bytes long.
