[Bug 1123479] [NEW] conversion from svg to png causes mogrify to consume all memory available in the system

[Ahmed Osama]

Public bug reported:

conversion from svg to png causes mogrify to consume all memory
available in the system

in kubuntu version 12.1

i dot imagemagick via apt-get install inkscape which also i think
installs imagemagick with it

using command mogrify -format png *.svg

what happens is mogrify consumes all memory in the system including the
swap space and goes into a freeze and stays like that until i kill the
process manually

the specific svg file that causes this is attached to this bug

it can also be downloaded via this link http://www.clipshrine.com/Metal-
pot-cover-14107-medium.html through the svg link

however inkscape can open the file and display it
