There are a variety of RTF related bugs in AbiWord right now. Many of them
will be fixed in 0.7.9, but surely not all of them. It's likely that all
of the RTF files you are trying to open have some common feature that
AbiWord is choking on.
Here is what to do. Wait for 0.7.9 to come out, which should be within the
next week or two, then try again. If it is still a problem, send a
personal message to me with the file and I will debug it.
