    If you're getting a message during the crash referring to a ".saved"
    file, it should be located in the same directory as the document you
    were manipulating when Abi crashed. This file is not a log, but a copy
    of the document as it was when Abi crashed. If it's a different message
    that doesn't mention ".saved", please post the text of the message here
    and someone may be able to better help.

    To file a bug, first try to reliably reproduce your problem. Is it a
    certain step that always causes the crash? If so, simply figure out the
    version of Abi you're using ("Help > About Abiword" from inside Abi),
    file a bug at http://bugzilla.abisource.com detailing exactly what
    you're doing that causes it to crash. Attach the document that's
    crashing, if possible.
