Hello Bernhard, in the meantime, I have managed to upgrade the NVIDIA driver to the stretch-backports version. Although apt-get issued some warnings, the process finished with a flawless system with GLX provided by the NVIDIA driver. AbiWord now works without start-up crash and your GDB does not produce any relevant output even when loading a document (see attachment).
Since I do not like to reverse my workplace system to the status with the AbiWord crash, I cannot produce the desired output. Again, many thanks for your efforts. With best regards -- Joachim
