Comment 8 for bug 168914

I'm getting a "too many heap sections" crash on 0.47pre4 on Win XP. My SVG file is only about 300K.

It happens when sometimes when I group two objects together, or if I get that far, when I move the resulting group around.

The top-level group is generaly composed of these objects (each is a group itself):

Group 1: A group of about 150 tiles clones. Each is a sphere with no stroke.

Group 2: A group of about 35 objects. Most are simple rectanges with a patterns that I made. The pattern is a small rectangle with a grid of rectangular tiled clones. The grid is about 7 x 8 or so. Two of the objects in Group 2 are more complex objects that are groups themselves. Some of the objects in these groups have similar tiled clone patterns, or a moderately large number of (simple) objects.

If it doesn't crash, it often gets very close. Looks like libgc is using 130M or so, from the About Memory command.

Hope this helps.
