As a first step, it's worth opening up the RTF file in any text editor to
see whether two different binary blobs got added there (one for each image).
Either the blobs or blob references are identical, or they're very
different, which further helps localize the problem.
HINT: It'll be easier to detect identical blobs if one image is much
smaller than the other.
If someone's interested in trying to debug the actual code, here's the file
you want:
abi/src/wp/impexp/xp/ie_exp_RTF_listenerWriteDoc.cpp
And this is probably the function:
s_RTF_ListenerWriteDoc::_writeImageInRTF()
Once you're in the debugger, it should be pretty easy to start figuring out
what's going wrong here.
