I noticed a bug (#868) in bugzilla about this. I've mailed the reporter
about his document, and I'll post it (should he agree) with a link in the
test case field when I get a reply.
On another note, my patch may (sort of) fix bug# 772 (not that i'm one to
'count my chickens' or anything), caused (I think) by the old OLE decoder's
use of temporary files. The bug will (technically) still be there, but
should only now manifect itsself when LibOLE2 fails and we fall back to the
old routines. In any case, the temporary filenames are generated by the
OS-provided tmpnam() function, so it's 'not our fault' :-) (Did I use enough
brackets?)

Round-trip Word? It's coming soon! (It's always good to be optimistic,
isn't it?)
