Bug Description
Inkscape 0.91.0+
Elementary OS 0.3.2 Freya (based on Ubuntu 14.04) 64 bit
When I apply Fillet/Chamfer path effect to a path, the program
becomes unresponsive and hangs, until it is killed.
Steps to reproduce:
I applied the fillet rounding effect to 2-3 paths,
at which point it hangs at the add-path-effect screen,
after clicking OK. The program tends to crash after
the effect has been applied to 2 or 3 paths.

I can't seem to get a debug report from gdb as I'm not
sure how to link it to my inkscape shell script? I'm not
a competent linux user! :3 Please advise

UPDATE:
I added the path effect to subsequent alternative paths
with no issues, so I guess it's something to do with that
particular path (see arrow in attached screenshot).
This path which caused the problem is just an ordinary
closed path as far as I can tell.
One workaround that seemed to remedy the bug was to
select this serif/crossbar path "Break Apart", "Union"
and then try adding the Fillet/Chamfer effect again.
Inkscape didn't crash on this occasion. Hope this info
is of some help to making the effect more stable.
