Unfortunately not. There are numerous rtf and word documents that crash
abi. I have several sent to me by my beloved Central Administration. I
think we should implement a segfault catcher around the word and rtf
importers to prevent abi crashing. If we get a segfault during import we
just appologize and suggest the user might want to restart just to be
sure.
