    The same bug has already been reported several times at http://bugzilla.abisource.com/.

    ...So I don't need to report it. :)

    (Hey you really don't have to look at any of those links is you don't have the time.)

    If anyone is curious, I reinstalled 2.0.3. It still crashes. This time I captured the
    DOS prompt, which simply says:

    (process:4293301193): libgsf:msole-CRITICAL **: file C:\ABISOURCE\LIBS\LIBGSF-1.8.1\gsf\gsf-infile-msole.c: line 109: assertion `block < ole->info->max_black´ failed
    I won't mmap that file, using a slower method

    ...then the program just crashes silently.
    I wonder what that C:\ABISOURCE thing is. I have my AbiWord at D:\AbiSuite2.
