[Inkscape-devel] pdf crashes

Like others I have been getting intermittent and unpredictable (though quite often) crashes when opening or importing pdf files. I found where it crashes but I have no idea why. So I just commented out one line, which seems to have fixed it for me - likely at the expense of a memory leak. Please test if this fixes the crashes for you.

This is the line 711 in src/extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-input.cpp:

//delete pdf_doc;

I'm at a loss when it comes to such mysterious crashes - there's definitely no double delete here and nothing obviously fishy. So if anyone can discover the true reason please share it with us.
