Comment 10 for bug 1073315

Description of problem:
When trying to open a file that I created in inkscape on an Ubuntu system in inkscape svg format failes to open in Fedora with an out of memory error message (see below).
After removing this element with a text editor the file opens, obviously it was a large background bitmap.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 17
inkscape.x86_64 0.48.3.1-1.fc17

How reproducible:
Try to open specific file in inkscape svg format. Example attached.

Actual results:
Window "Failed to load the requested file /home/.../asilomar.svg"
inkscape opens with empty 'New document 1'.
Command line: >>
$ inkscape asilomar.svg
asilomar.svg:2143: parser error : internal error
