    On an 8.2 beta3 install, when clicking on a link that points to a microsoft
    word document (.doc) in mozilla, I get a beige screen and on the bottom of
    the browser, right to the right of the little navigator, mail, composer etc
    buttons, it says "Running helper". Nothing ever happens, abiword never
    comes up. Looking at the output of ps ax, it seems that plugger is
    launching abiword 4 times, then killing those processes, trying to run it
    again, eventually it runs 4 times, etc. Running ps ax|tail twice in a row
    shows this:

    $ ps ax |tail
