Comment 10 for bug 471199

The only message that appeared was this (with and without the -dEPSFitPage argument):

inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol: _ZN13GfxColorSpace5parseEP6Object

Ownership and permissions are all right and the same as all the other scripts in there. The only difference is the date. This is getting very weird. I downloaded the script from the link you provided and didn't make a difference. Still crashing. I did try to open other EPS files and noticed that the ones who don't have data outside the standard page (US Letter?) size don't crash inkscape. I'll try the good old method of removing and reinstalling inkscape and ghostscript to see if it helps. I also found that this is probably a ghostscript bug and it's been around for at least 3 years - http://opendevice.blogspot.com/2007/05/eps-to-pdf-how-to-avoid-clipping.html.
