If you tell me how to get the executable or source I can give it a shot, but
I don't know enough about inkscape internals to do more than to just try it
on the svc file I included with the bug report.

That svc file was produced by a genealogical program on a family tree and
then post-processed with a filter to adjust the appearance, so I could try a
few other sub-trees of the database.

Any way, if that is useful, can you point me at how to get the latest binary
or svn repository of the source?

Thanks
