Binary package hint: inkscape
I export a figure containing text to either PS or EPS. When I try to open said figure with any ghostscript reader (gv, kghostview . . .), the reader isn't able to open it and begins to suck in system memory (as reported by top). The computer becomes unusably slow and there is a lot of hard disk activity.
If I try to open the same figure without any text, it opens and is displayed normally. THe problem occurs only when there is text, even a single character.
This bug seems to be exclusive of Inkscape v. 0.45 in Feisty; I used an older version that came in Edgy and it worked without problems. Furthermore, it seems to affect (E)PS only; exporting to, say, PNG works normally.
System:
Intel Pentium-M 2GHz w. 512 MB RAM running up-to-date, stock Kubuntu Feisty and Inkscape 0.45 (seemingly not 0.45.1).
