Bug Description
I created a very small and simple SVG using Open Office Draw (see attachment). When Image Viewer tries to open it it quickly claims the remaining 1 gig of RAM and the system load quickly reaches 100% grinding everything to a halt (alt-ctrl-backspace time).
Just did an experiment and when previewing it is the process with the command 'eog' that is taking all the memory. Kill the process and everything returns to normal.

Hi,
I've selected the correct package for this bug. An expert will get in touch as soon as possible.
Could you please provide some more information:
Which version of Ubuntu and the Image Viewer are you running (Click Help > About in an image that opens correctly) are you running?
Have you tried opening SVG files in other applications, for example in a web browser or Inkscape? That might help identify whether the cause is related to the Image Viewer or the OOo.org.
