I don't get a segfault on latest SVN--I get data loss. Any saved file is saved as 0 bytes, as is your ~/tmp/preferences.xml

Steps to reproduce
1: fill up your /tmp with a 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/bigfile bs=1k'
2: open an svg file (that you don't care about!!!)
3: make a minor change to the file and save it
4: that file will have 0 bytes.

5: ls -l ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml -> 0 bytes!

Also, a bunch of extensions that rely on saving intermediate things in /tmp fail (as you'd expect) with no good error message: latex formula, save as .xcf...

Setting high because of possibility of data loss with no warning.
