It's worse than that: it's inside the C library. Yikes!

Thanks, I will. The annoying thing is that a test program that just
calls the same Gnome Print API does not crash. So there's *something*
about the way Abiword is doing this that is relevant, even if the
actual bug is elsewhere. Is there anything unusual about how Abiword
uses Gnome Print? If so then that might be useful to tell the Gnome
devs.

Is the development series stable enough to be worth trying?
