This bug exists in unix build too. If you import a big word .doc file
or .rtf file, and you are using a debug version of abiword, after a
lot of 'yes', the file will be imported with lines extends beyond
margins. Abiword will simply crash if load that file in a build
without DEBUG being turned on.
A example is the word6 format document from the famous wotis.org (?).
