For me, inkscape sometimes just sits there like that and decides after an hour or two that it should continue as if nothing happened. I don't have evidence but when that happened, I also had 2 instances running in parallel.What i do is to run a cronjob checking for activity in the /tmp/tiles.log file and then killall inkscape || /etc/init.d/tiles-gen-client restart if no activity in the last half an hour.For me it is sufficient to execute the following in intervalls: ps ax | fgrep "SN+" | fgrep inkscape | cut -d " " -f 1 | xargs kill The plus (+) works for me as I run the calculations in a "screen" terminal But this is neither a solution for the underlaying problem nor a good thing.
Reportedly inkscape's memory management has problems with managing large amounts of RAM. There is not much we can do about that. Also reportedly one our original rasterizer candidate rsvg has now enough svg features implemented to become useful and a real alternative. Batik also becomes less of an alternative than initially thought, because it can't handle ligatures (i.e. in hindic fonts) correctly.
So basically there's no single good svg rasterizer available. (Suggestions welcome)
