Although I do hesitate to admit to it, I occasionally glance at slashdot... 

Here again they've posted a delightful article about error handling in open 
source... the url is here:
    http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2001/1025.errorhandling.html

The article mentions abiword as follows:

"At first I wondered if this was a problem that you would be more likely to 
find when developers use one graphical toolkit rather than another. But I see 
both good and bad error handling no matter which tools people use. For 
example, the GNOME/Gtk word processor AbiWord has been flawless lately. Not a 
single warning or error message appears in the console. It's possible that 
AbiWord simply isn't directing output to the console, but I'm guessing that 
it's simply a well-tested and well-behaved application."

Anyway, it surprised me to find Abi mentioned in the article, and I'm glad it 
was in a positive light.  

And as Martin aptly pointed out, "he's obviously not running the debug build!"
tee hee..
