I am just trying AbiWord on a Mandrake Linux (5.3 machine with the 2.2.
kernel... but it seems to cause total kernel panic when I try to load a
Messy DOC file... Linux says:

"the FIB lied to us, making a heroic effort to use the other table stream,
hold on tight"

Cleaned cache of 0RR etc...

I am also interetsed to know how I can put alternate spelling checkjers in
(UK or Dutch) and when we can expe3ct etc grammar checking ;-)

Rgds
