I didn't fix this after all. Further investigation leads me to think that
our pieceTable is being corrupted on large pastes. This is a really bad
bug and a showstopper for 0.7.12 as far as I'm concerned.

This bug was not present in June 27th build of abiword. Can someone verify
whether it is present in 0.7.11?

Just do "select all" on the interview.abw document then paste back to the
document. The present build segfaults every time on this.

I'll keep working on this.

I tried putting locks on the PieceTable operations but the const
definition of some of the methods defeated me.

Somone with a clue:

If a function is defined:
 PD_Document::getAppProps(*) const
{
.
.
.
.
}

How can I call a function that changes a member variable within
getAppProps?

Thanks!

Martin
