Of course the poor little iBook is probably a little too slow to do much with the data after it has loaded, but at least the loading itself works nicely, even if it takes forever. I should try this on the other Mac tomorrow.
So apparently Inkscape (or its developers) are not to blame here, it is the FreeBSD 6.0 virtual memory subsystem that seems to be a little wonky to say the least.
I should have considered this possibility earlier, but apparently sometimes FreeBSD users are a little full of themselves and consider "production releases" of their OS of choice unsinkable. Which may have been true in the 4.x days, but not anymore, that much is certain! ;-)

Inkscape does not even seem to touch the existing 2 GB of swap, so adding more will help little. Memory usage just balloons to 750-800 MB, which is the physical memory minus memory used by KDE, X, etc., and then the app fails to allocate more.
