Details

1. I open abiword (current/abiword 2.4.5-1)
2. I try to open a *.doc file (created with Word 2003) either from harddisk (ext3) or usb-stick (vfat)
3. abiword is being closed instantly

This does not happen with ascii-files, which I try to open.

This happened in xfce4, but after I installed gnome, this happens in gnome as well

However when I make my own abiword with bash abiword-2.4.5.x86.package abiword works fine with the same *.doc!
This task depends upon

I guess this must be a bug in libwv then, as the default abiword uses its internal copy of libwv, while we build with the system-installed version.

it's not, I've compiled Abiword 2.4.6 using old PKGBUILD (with system-installed wv) and the crash doesn't happen anymore.
