Crash when interpolating two paths

[manWell]

"Inkscape encountered an Internal error..." when applying the lessons of this tutorial (http://simarilius.wordpress.com/2006/10/21/faking-irregular-gradients-in-inkscape/) to a real document. Inkscape crashes at the time of interpolating as well as when I click a live preview. I am running inkscape 0.48 on an Intel Core (TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10 GhZ with 7.98 Gb Usable RAM. Libgc 18 million with 7 mill slack for a total of 25 million (combined > 25 million)

Please provide more detailed information about which Inkscape version you have installed (see Inkscape menu 'Help > About Inkscape') and on which OS/platform you are using inkscape.

Does this crash also occur if you redo the tutorial in a new document based on the default template?
If the crash only occurs with some of your SVG files, please attach a sample one with the two paths which expose this issue when using the 'Interpolate' extension, along with the parameters set for it.

Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886

No, it doesnt occur in all files and I have managed it on a completely new file. So I tried to simplify the file I am working (less layers, etc) but it still crashes. I attach a copy of the file: the brown and yellow paths are meant to be interpolated

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9901 (0.48.x branch) and 0.48+devel r11515

Based on the version:

and the id of <sodipodi:namedview> of the provided sample file:

this is another duplicate of a known regression in Inkscape 0.48.3.1:

Where can I get Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9901 for windows?

There has been no new newer stable release than 048.3.1 yet (the next planned bug.fix release will be 0.48.4, later this year).

See the last comment in bug #944077 for a workaround in Inkscape 0.48.3.1 with affected files.
