Unfortunately, I have no idea what's contained within this *.odt file. So I'm
hesitant on submitting it. (It's called addresslabels.odt and could contain
personal addresses.)

Nor is it a very large file either:

Documents/AddressLables.odt -rw------- 1 roger roger 11K Sep 16 2007
Documents/AddressLables.odt

Unpacking it using unzip shows the content.xml file:
/tmp/content.xml -rw------- 1 roger roger 40K Sep 16 2007 tmp/content.xml

One oddity I'm immediately noticing with the content.xml file, the entire file
is one line, with no newlines (everything is on one line) giving VIM a hard
time even showing the file. CPU P3 750 is maxed for about a minute trying to
show one line of 39980 characters.

My best guess, either OpenOffice or Abiword saved this xml file using one line.
(Suggestions? Opening another *.odt file created about the same time show
similar formating. "http://openoffice.org/2004/writer")

(Yes, I've got sensitive information within this file, but it's likely a
garbage file worth little value.)

All other ODT files appear to open just fine with Abiword.

Since it appears OpenOffice (< 2004) created this file, I'm just going to shrug
this off as nothing and it's likely solved. Not too much more I can do,
especially since the strace/gdb seems to have located the bug outside abiword's
code.
