This bug isn't a duplicate of bug #24195 - that bug is about including OpenDocument plugin in main abiword package, while title of this bug is "freezes when you open an ODT document *without* abiword-plugins installed". This is an upstream bug - AbiWord should don't try to open .zip files (OpenDocument files are archived in .zip archive) if needed plugins are not installed. Look for more info in upstream bugreports.
