Crash when moving node in a polygon with a pattern fill

[pottersson]

The following steps get Inkscape 0.47~pre4-0ubuntu (the latest version from the repos on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala) to crash 100% of the time:

1) Open Inkscape
2) Use the Polygon tool to create a shape (I was making quadrilaterals)
3) Use the Ctrl+Shift+F pane to change the fill to the default pattern
4) Use the Node Tool
5) Select a single node on the polygon and move it.

The program should crash.

Here's the gdb backtrace:
