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.
