Hi, Diederik:Not only does it crash when starting from within gdb, but also when I start Inkscape directly, without trying to debug it. I guess I was not clear on that.You were clear; I tried to explain why gdb debugging won't work without knowing the 'file loading through cmdline' trick :-) I just tried loading your file with rev.15987 and had no problems... Try again with today's build? Johan
