Looks like the crash was caused when inkscape tried to render a preview svg into a pixmap for display in Inkscape::UI::Dialog::FileListViewText, it may be a bug in rsvg but it's hard to know for sure without that svg file. If you can find the svg file you were trying to open and it's still causing inkscape to crash, please attach it here.
