Subject: bug#27480: Building AbiWord without libwmf and removing libwmf from Guix
Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2017 23:58:13 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

With or without libwmf, abiword goes into (what looks like) an infinite
loop allocating memory when I tried opening a WMF file I found on the
internet. Libreoffice was able to open this file and I couldn't
reproduce the issue with the abiword package from Debian Stretch.

From commit v0.13.0-999-gd17e085a5 on another distro, x86_64, here is
what it looks like in strace (full strace log and sample file attached):

We should figure out if this is specific to Guix somehow, and fix it or
report it upstream.
