Are the developers aware of this issue? Is there any hope to have a FreeBSD running 0.40 version any time soon?
They are. My question though is *why* does the FreeBSD ports maintainer feel like he should stop updating his packages once memory leaks cross a totally arbitrary line? No other packager has decided that Inkscape is too buggy so it should not be packaged. He should continue to update it and anybody who has problems with leaks should go upstream with the problems.
I'm assuming that there isn't something special about FreeBSD that makes it unusable whereas on Linux it's fine. If there is, then perhaps he should update the package and give the kernel/GC people some incentive to fix it :)
