Inkscape crash on creating print marks

[Eyal Lior]

I select an object (a rectangle) and do Extensions>Render>Layout>Printing Marks, then I check any combination of checkboxes and get the crash: "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now."

Workaround: start inkscape and then only open the file, then no crash
To reproduce the crash: lunch inkscape by double clicking the file, then the extension will crash when hitting ok

not reproduced on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)

- could you attach the svg file you are using?
- which OS?, which version of Inkscape (see Help->About)
- if you are getting a different result depending on how you open the file, then it is likely that you have multiple instances of Inkscape installed or multiple instances of the Python file. could you do a global search to see if there is more than one 'Inkscape.exe' file or more than one 'printing_marks.py' file?

Attached.
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
When I double click an svg, this inkscape opens:
0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)

Looks like I have 2 versions:
0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)
0.92.3 (d244b95, 2018-08-02)

However, the workaround is with the same version (0.92.3 (2405546,
2018-03-11). Another thing is that once I've started working on a new file
(copied some objects to a new file, started to work on it) the crash
doesn't happen, so it's probably something in this (attached) file. Select
the business-card on the right and try to add print marks.

thanks for the file.
On Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)
and also Inkscape 0.92.3 (0612fd7, 2018-10-23)
I am unable to reproduce the crash. The printing marks are shown in the attached file.

off-topic: however I do get a crash when opening this file in the latest trunk version, so I will report that as a separate bug.
