OOOH,

	This is much worse than I thought. kword will not even open a text file 
without crashing. Where does this bug go? Arch, kdemod or kde?. I seems like 
it should go to Arch because there is something wildly incompatible between 
the koffice build and kde3. Here is the additional kcrash backtract from 
trying to open the text file if that will help sort out where the bug should 
go. Thanks.

	Also, here is the *contents* of the 1-line txt file kword crashed trying to 
open:

	2008-03-08a-MERGED.txt

Yes, that is the total 22 byte contents that crashed kmail. And this is a RC 
release???
