Want to share my experience with this problem

I use Inkscape on Win-7 64bit Home Premium.
I have installed version 048.4.1 and developement version (no installation)
After update of Acer-monitor driver development version of Inkscape started to crash on opening Preferences
At the same time installed 048.4.1 worked normally. So in 048.4.1 I've opened preferences and found in
display profile->in dropdown list of available color profiles-> <not correct utf-8name> (or something like that)
Solved this problem following way:
On desktop of windows-> right mouse click->screen resolution->Advanced settings->
color management-> button 'color management..'->all profiles-> ICC profiles list
In this list I've found one funny profile: name= ' ¬@ ' filename= 'V173.ICM'
When this profile was removed by button in the same window, problem gone. All work fine again
It looks like the problem of error handling with profile name solved in official Inkscape 048.4.1 but still exist in developement versions
