Failed to save *.plt after vectorizing bitmap

[Steve]

Inkscape 0.48+devel r11359 @ Windows 7 Professional SP1

This is what I do:

1. Select bitmap (I used default Windows Penguins wallpaper)
2. Vectorize
   2.1 Options: Brightness cutoff (Treshold .45-.65)
3. Remove my bitmap
4. Trim canvas to the size of my new vector
5. Save to *.plt

Then I get message, that Python has crashed.
Exception code:
UniConvertor failed:

I tried Path->Simplify , but the result is the same.

reproduced on Windows 7, Inkscape 0.48.3.1. If you get a popup message saying that "Python.exe has stopped working", then this is a duplicate as indicated by ~suv. The packaging requirements for third party software are more stringent on Windows 7 than on XP.

@Alvin Penner (apenner) exactly. You can close this topic. But still I hope that this problem will be solved with next release ;)
