[Bug 1544985] [NEW] Memory Usage explosion (16gb) with not-so-large (248k) SVG

 

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1533058 ***

Public bug reported:

On Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (ubuntu packaged), the attached SVG (which was
originally created with matplotlib) causes inkscape to explode in memory
usage, eventually thrashing so much that I have to kill the process (I
have seen it go up to 16gb). If I limit inkscape to only 6GB, then it
will eventually just crash.
