This relates to bug 23821, which supposedly has been fixed.  Confirmed on Linux
2000071609.

Adding crash keyword

[Sean Richardson]

This crash is not possible under WinNT - it is not possible to get
past the permission-checking in the built into the OS-provided Save As dialog.

This /does/ look like a regression of bug 23821, "No write permission on file: 
save file dies; no alert".

Bringing to the attention of Bill Law, and passing to the XP Apps component.
