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.
