Hi all,

I just added an infinite loop testcase to our testsuite.

The essential SVG part looks like this:

<g> <rect id="rect1" style="fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1" width="491.42856" height="357.14285" x="137.14285" y="169.50504" filter="url(#filter1)" /> </g> <defs> <filter id="filter1"> <feImage xlink:href="#rect1" /> </filter> </defs>

Note how rect1 refers to filter1 that refers to rect1...

I don't know how Inkscape should handle this. Already a warning is reported: ** (inkscape.exe:2592): WARNING **: More than 32 iteration while updating document 'D:\gsoc-testsuite\tester.\testcases\basic\infinite-loop-01.svg'

But no further action is taken, so this warning is spammed until the program runs out of memory and aborts execution.

Any ideas how to solve this?

cheers, Johan
