Using Kubuntu Lucid 10.04.
Rebuilding libgc1c2 with "-DLARGE_CONFIG" enabled DOES stop inkscape crashing 
with too many heap sections message (on my previously affected 43MB file). 
The file now works as normal in Inkscape GUI. 
However as Krzysztof Kosinski found in Windows, Inkscape still fails to export 
the file as bitmap from within the GUI. (A partial bitmap is created and then 
CPU load decreases as if the job was completed (and Inkscape export dialog 
closes the export in progress notification) but RAM use continued to steadily 
and slowly increase (3GB+) until I closed Inkscape.)
Export as bitmap from the command line DOES work as normal (although I have 
only tested this on the one file of mine mentioned).
For people wanting to try it:
