A document that hangs the abiword filter (174.87 KB, application/x-abiword)

Description Jon Trowbridge 2005-03-12 16:44:29 UTC 
The document is attached.

I briefly looked at the code and this filter looks very problematic.  In
particular, it never seems to check the return value of reader.Read(), so it
won't correctly detect the end of the document in some cases.

Since reader.Read () return value is not checked, we get stuck in an endless
loop while looking for a tag named "metadata" --- which isn't present is this
document.

still fails or you find any "coding problems".  Your tips/suggestions are always
useful. ;)
