[Inkscape-devel] Crash in console mode resulting from rev. 20388

Inkscape suddenly crashes for me when using the command line export functionality (in some cases at least). It seems to crash in SPDesktop::doc2dt, probably due to a null-pointer dereference. This function is called from sp_item_i2d_affine now, since rev. 20388. And this was also one of the few revisions since I last updated, so it could very well have to do with this revision.

My guess is that there simply isn't any instance of SPDesktop when Inkscape is used as a command line executable. So possibly the error isn't in sp_item_i2d_affine as such, but rather in the fact that it is being called at all. If anyone with a bit more understanding of this area of the code could have a look that would be great.
