Hi Again,
I just tried running inkscape in linux with valgrind for the first time ever, and it reveals some interesting results (attached). It seems that libgc's malloc function has a bug where the library will operate using uninitialised data.
"Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)"
It might be quite cool to have a bit of a proper play with valgrind. It seems really quite hi-tech, and I'm hopeful it will be able to reveal quite a few memory related bugs.
