Bug Description
Inkscape 0.48.1 r9760 on Xubuntu 11.04 64bit (standard version from the repositories)
By working through the "Inkscape: Advanced" tutorial I found the following issue:
When trying to pull out a retracted handle on a node in a bezier curve the handle appears close to the node but Inkscape becomes unresponsive, not reacting to any clicks or shortcuts. It still pops up a dialog whether to save the current document when trying to close the window, but the buttons in this dialog are also inactive. One has to forcefully kill it from htop or the like.
Steps to reproduce:
1) draw or select an arbitrary bezier curve
2) retract the handles of a node by Ctrl+clicking on them
3) try to pull the handles out again by Shift+dragging from the node
edit: The system information below is for my 32bit system which shows the same behavior as the 64bit one from which I reported this bug.

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.1 on OS X 10.5.8 (i386) when retracting and pulling out again the handles of a node (tested with a new path created in a new document, with my usual settings and with default settings (new prefs file)).
Could you attach a sample SVG file with a path that exposes this behavior?
