Bug Description
trying to open the attached svg plot ends up with a crash, and the following report:
-------
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
-------
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
-------
then a second window pops up:
-------
GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:202: failed to allocate 480 bytes
aborting...
-------
I am also watching the processes on my Windows 7 professional / 64 bit PC, and Inkscape is consuming some how close to 1.9 Gigabytes of RAM. My Hardware is equipped with 8 GB in total.
InkScape version is Inkscape 0.48+devel r13487
Attachments: the original SVG file and a pdf of its content, named "demoplot.zip".
Looks, that the plot simply overloads the memory allocation routine somehow......
The svg-File "demoplot.svg" can be rendered in Firefox for example.

I just verified with InkScape 0.91pre1 compiled for win64: it can open the file without crash - memory allocation approx. 3.5 GB.
So my bug report becomes obsolete with the next upcoming stable release.
