On XP, the two latest builds:

crash when trying to open Preferences dialog. Previous builds are OK. Unfortunately the backtrace I could get on Windows is less than helpful, but on one try I got a message "failed to allocate 1024 bytes"; on other tries it just died silently.
Anyone else seeing this?
I don't know if this is the problem, but earlier there was an error, that when there was a problem reading the preferences file, an assert() would be called. This would be extreme overkill, and would be another symptom of Inkscape having far too many assert()'s in it.
Assert() is 80's tech, and a proper C++ program should either handle a problem gracefully or throw an exception.
But this might not be the problem at all. It is just something that I noticed before.
