I investigaged this issue and I too see this happening. For me it was at 12
windows. It seems that each AbiWord frame takes a fair hunk of the Win32
limited GDI. At a certain point GDI runs out of available memory and
AbiWord crashes when attempting a new instance.
As far as I know, outside of upgrading operating system or optimizing the
nuts and bolts of the graphic data for the Win32 system, there is not much
to be done.
