[Maximilian Albert (cilix)]

This is temporarily fixed in SVN (rev. 19673). The crash was introduced by commit #1530 of the 2geom library, which I reverted in Inkscape SVN. Even though the crash is gone, I'm not closing this bug in order to draw further attention to the underlying issue.

[Johan Engelen (johanengelen)]

Sorry for my somewhat strange change to 2geom there; it was correct to revert it. Closing this bug.
