I'm just jumping in, sorry if this has been said already, however, I
do have terrible crashes (actually it's more like AbiWord taking up
all the system resources to such a point that you have not enough left
to kill it) while opening .doc files even when NOT password protected
with 0.7.5.

There is an error message saying something like (sorry, but I'm not
really willing to do another try, after 2 successive such crashes on 2
unrelated files) :

"The FIB lied to us !! Trying to read from other table flow, hold on
tight!"

This is sure amusing, but the results were not, sort of near death,
near Win95 experience inside Linux. Scary.
