I've tried this on Linux, and it imported without crashing. The difference
seems to be that in Linux, AbiWord ignores all tabs that are >= the right
margin, whereas in Windows, AbiWord ignores all tabs that are > the right
margin.
If a document contains tabbed leaders which use a tab on the right margin,
AbiWord will crash in Windows, but not in Linux. This is because in
Windows, AbiWord tries to insert text after the tab, thus crashing; but in
linux the tab gets ignored and the Tabbed Leader, acting as a regular tab
would, moves the proceeding text to the next 1/2 inch mark.
