[Bug 168914] Re: Inkscape requires large-config support in libgc

[rjaduthie]

This problem has appeared on my system.  The Boehm Garbage Collector
(Boehm gc, libgc) is version 7.2d-r1. The OS I am using is Sabayon
13.10.  Inkscape is at version 0.48.4-r1.

The operation I am attempting is the command line conversion of an SVG
to an EPS.  The SVG is 174.3 MB in size (yes, it's pretty big).  When
running from a instance of 'konsole' within the KDE desktop, the
instance of Inkscape exits without any warning apart from "Killed".
When running from an X Session, the message is:

"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."

Another SVG of size 139MB manages to convert successfully (after a long
wait).

  If have no idea of this is also occurring on other platforms, maybe someone
  can test it.
