Thanks for helping out!

The crash occurs only when exporting. I can load the .svg file into Inkscape without any problems. By the way, the crash also occurs if I do the export from the command line using --export-png. For the DPI I have just used the default values (I assume 300 dpi) so far.

Just in case it helps, I tried loading the same file in Inkscape under Mac OS X 10.8.3 and it worked. But when trying to export it just hangs without any error message being produced. I had to kill Inkscape after waiting for several minutes. Under the same Mac OS X system, I can convert the .svg file to png using GIMP, suggesting that there is probably nothing terribly wrong with the .svg file itself. Although I wouldn't discard that completely since all the .svg files that I have tested are produced by the same .svg generator, plot2svg for MATLAB:

I am making all these Mac OS X tests on my laptop which has only 8 GB of RAM while the Debian system that I tested earlier is much more powerful and has 128 GB of RAM.
