Inkscape crashes when large file has been opened and zoomed some times

[Jekhor]

Inkscape 0.46-3 from Debian package.

When I open LARGE file in inkscape (~30 MiB, rendered Openstreetmap fragment) and try to zoom in some times, Inkscape crashes with following messages:
----------------------------------------------------------
...
** (inkscape:17799): WARNING **: GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 16384):
        May lead to memory leak and poor performance.

If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.
Aborted
------------------------------

After start it consumes 1.3G of memory, after first zoom --- 1.8G, after second --- 1.9G etc.

Probably, it's not bug.

Bug also occures using Ubuntu.

Also in Windows there is a similar Problem. The Amount of memory consumed increases by scrolling or zooming. The Program crashes displaying a messege: "Too many heap sessions"

I can replicate this at will with the attached svg file. I am also attaching a gdb result log. I am running Inkscape 0.48.1 on a Windows 7 box with 8GB RAM. (Also occurs on a Win XP Pro box).

Reproduced on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.48.1.
Not reproduced with trunk revision 10466. Zoom and span are now relatively fast, with no excessive memory consumption.
