Description
I've just upgraded boehmgc to version 7.0, and inkscape will no longer start (hangs on startup, no splash screen, 99+% processor use in top). Looking at the inkscape projects bug reports, it seems there have been similar problems with gc on SUSE.
Many thanks,
-Mike

I tested it with boehmgc 6.7 and it works like a charm. Honestly, the lack of communication in bug reports is a bit disturbing. 3 months and no one said anything. Even a "Won't be fixed" would be better than this.

It really seems like boehmgc should be downgraded back to 6.8, at least for the time being.

Inkscape does work with boehmgc-devel 7.1alpha2 installed.

This seems to have been fixed by r35638.

The same problem appears in w3m. It also hangs half of the time, and it also stalls sometimes on compilation. See bug #12979. It seems that boehmgc 7.0 has some problem with multithreaded programs.
