On OS X 10.7.4 (with poppler 0.18.4 and 0.20.3), Inkscape 0.48.3.1 and 0.48+devel r11856 simply hangs even before opening the PDf import dialog with the page preview, same on Ubuntu 12.10 (with poppler 2.20.4). Same happens when trying to open the PDF file with the 'Adobe PDF via poppler-cairo (*.pdf)' experimental file format in current trunk.

Since Evince 2.30.2 and 3.6.0 (poppler-based PDF viewer) also hang when trying to render the PDF file (on OS X as well as Ubuntu), this looks more like an issue in upstream poppler and not Inkscape itself.

Ghostscript 0.9.6, Xpdf 3.02 and Apple's Preview.app OTOH open the file just fine (Preview is unusually slow to load and pan the document though)

Attaching a random sample of hanging Inkscape process (after about 30-50 sec) on OS X (with poppler 2.20.3).
