Stable version of AbiWord for WinXP?

Is there a stable version of AbiWord for WinXP? I installed
2.4.6 on my mothers XP machine hoping it would work a bit
better than AppleWorks 5 (which is getting a bit old in the
tooth and doesn't really play well with Windows). Unfortunately
AbiWord 2.4.6 locks up frequently. Among other things, doing
just about anything involving a textbox or image will often
cause the program to lock up with a permanent "hourglass"
cursor and a "not responding" dialog box when you try to close
the AbiWord window.

I've also seen several formatting snafus where clicking
somewhere will result in successively more space between lines
until you only have a few lines per page. I had to delete the
affected paragraphs and start over.

So, I'm hoping there's a more stable version that somebody can
recommend for use under Windows.
