Liam emailed me with a crash he thought was happening in the style code I modified. After examining it a bit it appears to be a problem with asynchronous behavior and is probably the same bug as this. To reproduce, take a very large file (icons.svg) and apply one of the color extensions to part of it (an icon). Inkscape will crash with in few applications of the extension.
If anyone is interested in looking into this, I can lend a hand. If not, then I'll take a look once I manage to get a build system working again. It does appear to manifest on Ubuntu, so I should be able to get something going within just a few days.
However... it does look like a good opportunity for someone who might be interested in learning more on how to attack such bugs to be able to collaborate on it.
