Bug Description
Using 0.46 on PCLinuxOS.
I'm not exactly sure of the cause of this particular crash, but it had been crashing whenever i tried to ungroup objects of certain groups so i may have done that and triggered it. Regardless, once it had crashed a blank error message box popped up and then closed after a few seconds of its own accord. The generated backup file would not open either after this crash, exhibiting the same behaviour with the blank error box, and the original file itself, which had been recently saved, wont open either. Thus all copies of the work were corrupted.
The files (backup and original copy) will open and appear to render well on firefox and other image viewing software, but inkscape just wont open them.
Attached are the files in question, just some drafts for logos and stuff.

On Linux in SVN build the first file opens OK though it takes a good while. Trying to open the second file crashes Inkscape quite solid freezing my whole system for a good while too so it must be doing something nasty - running out of memory seems to be the issue here. In particular with this message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
Emergency save activated!
Emergency save document locations:
/tmp/inkscape-
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
