segfaults on load of file that previously saved fine. blame: path-effect

[shinyblue]

I was working on a file (attached), no problems (well, it was unworkably slow to move a node (10s between updates, even in wireframe mode) and saved, quit, and had lunch.

Now my file will not open. Techno garb pasted below from gdb. If I "remove" the path effect (by spamming the attribute!) as shown in the patch below, then I can open the file again.

================================================================================================
$ diff broken fixed

1045c1045
< inkscape:path-effect="#path-effect7124"
---
> fixed_it_inkscape:path-effect="#path-effect7124"

================================================================================================

If Inkscape could be made to crash at the time of applying the path effect, then at least I'd only lose work since the last Save. As it is, I save regularly (with backups) but to no avail because it's only by closing and re-opening the file that I know whether Save worked.
