Comment 3 for bug 229412

I have a very similar report -- crashing on one specific PDF (attached). I get the "PDF Import Settings" dialogue, but when I click okay it aborts. gdb output is below.

uname -a: Linux morchella 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 20:27:26 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Inkscape 0.46
Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy)

gdb output:
...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what(): basic_string::append

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
