No, I've created it today... from another autosaved document (perhaps the
file is corrupted? but I don't think so). Hmm now it seems to crash at first
try... or randomly loads the formula or the illustrator object... or some
combination of those possibilities. Didn't go into a loop at the last tries.

You mean the terminal output? At most times, it isn't even possible to
switch to any other app on this awfully slow machine when the load is that
high :(. I'll buy a bigger hdd for my second, faster machine in some weeks
and then I'll install Linux on this machine. But I have to keep windows for
my daily work and games on the faster machine, so I'll have to use the
pentium for kde until that time.

OK, I'll send them to you.
