Could you please provide me with a file, opening which triggers an error, 
because I've failed to reproduce the problem using my own files. Thanks!

It crashed even with no given file, e.G. opening it without any argument.
The problem has vanished  now with AbiWord-0.9.6.1

kind regards Dirk

Problem found, one of the gnome libs had caused the error, 
it is fixed in the current distribution. 
Even the older packages now work with the newer libs. 
Thanks.
