Not only images from OpenOffice are to blame here. I just recently ran into this bug by creating an overhead layout of my apartment in Inkscape. I set the page size to 10 x 10 metres, and the resulting image, though frugal in content, instantly consumes gigabytes of memory when I try to display it or open it in certain file browser dialogues. The rapid memory usage increase will lock up pretty much everything as far as I can see, I can't switch to the text console or do anything with the computer except a cold reboot. This is of course unacceptable behaviour, and you can shuffle the blame around from librsvg to eog, from eog to linux opportunistic memory allocator, to the svg specification, but that doesn't fix the very real problem.
