    When I run a Linux CVS build I always get a blank
    dialog with just a "." in it right at startup.
    Doesn't
    seem to be an assert (That I can tell). After
    clicking
    it away all runs normally and I never see another one
    again if I crash AbiWord. Is this the same thing?
    What is it?

    Andrew.
