Ah, that'd be my, erm, 'fix', to wv/picf.c (for those not reading all
the threads, in wv/picf.c, I commented a line out). It doesn't actually
'fix' the problem, but introduces another rather nasty (and probably
rather bug-inducing) kludge around it. It probably causes real pictures
not to load properly, and if it's causing segfaults, I'd actually vote
for removing it.
Jamie.
P.S. Those documents that used to cause abiword to hang - it wasn't
actually hung - leave it for half an hour and it'll finish with
correctly imported documents :-)
