 I have reinstalled boehm-gc with threading support and I can't reproduce  
 it on RELENG_7 (Fri Apr 11 13:30:52). I also even have tested it in  
 runtime. Must be fixed somewhere in RELENG_7 (maybe 7.0-R too).

 Jonathan, you will have to build libc, libpthread, boehm-gc and inkscape  
 with debug then reinstall those. When you get segfault, check in  
 inkscape's config.log and see where it crashes at, and try to use gdb to  
 collect the backtraces. I personal would upgrade to FreeBSD 7.x instead  
 all of that headaches.
 
 Cheers,
 Mezz
