I no longer see this with an up to date Feisty with the newest version
(r2187 Athens) of the script, sorry to bother Ubuntu with this bug.
** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed = Rejected

Running Inkscape repeatedly by script causes X to use lots of CPU
This might be related to the upstream bug on sf.net
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=604306aid=1670475group_id=93438
as OSM data suffers from occasional bad UTF-8 characters.
When Inkscape encounters those it will allocate all available RAM in order to
process it, and because that
I'm one of the devs on the script.
It basically downloads a set of map data in XML format, transforms this into a
(rectangular) svg and then inkscape is used to export these svgs as square
256x256 truecolor pngs.
On a sidenode: why does inkscape try opening a DISPLAY at all when in
batch mode?
Added example svg

example command lines run on a tileset:
...at zoom level 12 (squere png as mentioned above)
nice inkscape -w 256 -h 256 --export-

...at zoom level 14 (the script renders map tiles from z=12
Thanks for this bug report! Can you provide some details on how to run
the script, etc, so that we can reproduce the problem you're seeing? I
haven't used OpenStreetMap before, so I'm unsure how to duplicate the
bug.

Yes, it is a little difficult to explain. The script won't work if you
don't have an OSM password, so there is not much chance of running it
elsewhere. I'll ask the developers of the script itself for advice.
