After Bulia's request for bugs, I figured I'd submit this problem I've been seeing lately in the current CVS:

When editing paths with both the GUI and the XML editor, inkscape will crash. I always use the XML editor and node editor to position points in my paths to make sure I get them exactly where I want them. I find I can only make a few edits and inkscape will crash. Sometimes one switch between editor and GUI and inkscape will segfault*, other times it will take 10 or more. Having multiple paths may produce this problem faster (not sure).

Sometimes inkscape won't crash, but will reach a state where nothing can be selected anymore and messages such as this will be produced:

** (inkscape:10227): CRITICAL **: file selection.cpp: line 523 (SPItem* sp_selec tion_item(SPSelection*)): assertion `SP_IS_SELECTION (selection)' failed

** (inkscape:10227): CRITICAL **: file selection.cpp: line 483 (void sp_selectio n_empty(SPSelection*)): assertion `SP_IS_SELECTION (selection)' failed

(inkscape:10227): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `<inval id>' in cast to `GObject'

I haven't submitted it to the bug tracker simply because I don't have a clear way of reproducing it.

* I have disabled the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE and SIGILL handlers in my version: // segv_handler = signal (SIGSEGV, inkscape_segv_handler); // signal (SIGFPE, inkscape_segv_handler); // signal (SIGILL, inkscape_segv_handler);
