This problem has appeared on my system. The Boehm Garbage Collector (Boehm gc, libgc) is version 7.2d-r1. The OS I am using is Sabayon 13.10. Inkscape is at version 0.48.4-r1.
The operation I am attempting is the command line conversion of an SVG to an EPS. The SVG is 174.3 MB in size (yes, it's pretty big). When running from a instance of 'konsole' within the KDE desktop, the instance of Inkscape exits without any warning apart from "Killed". When running from an X Session, the message is: "Too many heap sections: Increase MAXHINCR or MAX_HEAP_SECTS Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it." Another SVG of size 139MB manages to convert successfully (after a long wait). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/168914 Title: Inkscape requires large-config support in libgc Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Fix Committed Status in Inkscape Devlibs for Windows: Fix Released Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libgc” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “inkscape” package in Debian: Fix Released Status in “libgc” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: When opening a svg-file of about 22 MB (http://www.xs4all.nl/~overes/svg.zip) Inkscape gives the following error: Fatal error in gc Too many heap sections gdb output: Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap. 0x7c901231 in ntdll!DbgUiConnectToDbg () from ntdll.dll gdb bt: #0 0x7c901231 in ntdll!DbgUiConnectToDbg () from ntdll.dll #1 0x00daa23c in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #2 0x0112a6f5 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #3 0x00800001 in intl!bind_textdomain_codeset () #4 0x00003000 in ??
