I installed version 0.91 from the ppa. The crashing problem seems to
have been solved. However, when I import the PDF, it displays strange
behavior. While it is importing the PDF, it uses 3.7 GB and levels off
for a few minutes, although one cpu shows 100% usage. This behavior is
similar to what I saw with version 0.48). Then, it uses another 4.6 GB
(which causes swapping on my system which has 8 GB of memory) and
successfully imports the image.

Saving the image as svg increases memory another 700 MB during the save
and the file uses 98.4 MB on disk. Closing the image briefly displays
some kind of error message window that disappears too fast for me to
read. Opening the saved svg uses 3.9 GB of memory.

Title:
  2 MB PDF uses several GB of memory and causes crash

Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Trying to open this 2 MB PDF with Inkscape causes Inkscape to use 3.7
  GB of memory. Saving it as an svg file uses 78 MB on disk. Opening the
  saved svg file requires 3.5 GB of memory. If I then do ctl+A, ctl+G,
  it crashes immediately with the following output:

  Too many heap sections: Increase MAXHINCR or MAX_HEAP_SECTS

  Emergency save activated!
  Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
  If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
  with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.
