Apps :: AbiWord chrashes reproducably

If you are using many application extensions then hat happens when you boot DSL with option of

boot: dsl base norestore

This will insure that no other extension is causing the problem. Then try abiword.

Also, how much memory does you machine have?
If small amount, try abiword.unc

Finally, open a regular xshell and run Abiword like this:
$ /opt/abiword/abiword
hopefully you might see what may be causing your problem.
