- Word 5.0a has a heinous bug in it that makes it think the drive is
- full when it's not. i had to find a copy of 5.1 just so i could keep
- using Word on my Linux box. the bug was quite odd. sometimes it
- would show up and sometimes not. additionally, it often showed up
- more often with some partitions and not for others. very weird and
- nothing i could really reproduce.
