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

[Daniel Thomas]

I am getting this problem on Ubuntu 12.04.1 with libgc1c2 version
1:7.1-8ubuntu0.12.04.1 it looks to be happening when inkscape needs to
use more than 8GB to render the file (a 40MB svg) (which should be fine,
the VM has 16GB).

[snip many of the following]
** (inkscape:19363): WARNING **: GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 16384):
	May lead to memory leak and poor performance.

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.
** Message: Error: Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now.

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