Hi devs,

I've tried out the following patch:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/6809633/

And it's not working. The path which used to work well, it now being overwritten with garbage data before the file can be opened. As if the reference has been freed.

I'm sure it's something simple to do with those consts or gchar types. Any ideas?

Example output:

** (inkscape:4946): WARNING **: Can't open file: /home/doctormo/D\x89 \x99 (doesn't exist)

** (inkscape:4946): WARNING **: Can't get document for referenced URI: inner.svg#bar

Martin,
