Crashes with the following error in Inkscape r14651 trunk build on Windows 7:
    (inkscape.exe:3844): glibmm-ERROR **:
    unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
    what: lib2geom exception: Non-contiguous path (src/2geom/path.cpp:1043)

So it seems this issue could also emerge in other scenarios.
