Hi Johan,

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. If it were only a gdb issue then I probably wouldn't have bothered ;-). It would be great to know whether it's reproducible, or maybe you are able to get a backtrace. You're programming on Windows, right? I'll try the file on my linux-machine at home and see where it leads to.

The file will be sent in a separate mail to you personally, I'd rather not have it published on the mailing list as it's somewhat confidential.

Regards,

Diederik

When starting through gdb however it also gets stuck, but it won't crash. How do I get some useful information from gdb to help debugging? Currently, I only have "unknown software exception 0xc00000fd" at "0x672ddbd9".

Running inkscape in gdb and then opening a file has been freezing Inkscape since a long time ago, since January I think (I must admit I have not tried in over a month, maybe it got fixed accidentally). I do not know how to fix this, it seems some obscure bug. A "fix" is to load the file from the command line which did work last time I tried.

Can you send the SVG file to me so I can try?

Groet! Johan
