When I try to open with eog o previsualize with nautilus the attached svg image, that process starts to eat all the system memory, until the swap space is eventually full.

The image was generated with OO Draw 2.4, and it passed W3C svg validator.

Reproducing this bug is simple: just try to open this image with eog.
Or you can try something like this:

(eog bad2/CodigoGray4Bits2.svg &) ; sleep 3 ; pkill -STOP eog #3 seconds for me is enough to consume 1.6GB of memory and 300MB of swap space
then you can attach strace o gdb to pid `pgrep eog`

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 i386, with nearly all updates up-to-date.
