Bug Description

After modifying an existing WMF file (created from Micrografx Windows Draw 6) and clicking to save the inkscape application hangs showing another command window (C:\Program Files\Inkscape\Python\Python.exe). After forcefully closing the python application the wmf file is corrupted and cannot read from Inkscape and other applications.

Please see the attached sample wmf files
1. Modified_sample.wmf is the modified file from inkscape but cannot opened anymore.

2. sample.wmf is the original file and try to add a rectangle and save it.

Fixed in Inkscape 0.91. Inkscape now uses internal filters to handle WMF and EMF files.
