Trace Pixel Art crashes on large image

Which installer did you use for Inkscape 0.91 - 32bit or 64bit?

To allow further investigation of the reported issue, please attach a test case (Inkscape SVG file, or one of the pixel art images which produce the reported crash), and provide details about
- bitmap image import settings
- settings for 'Trace Bitmap' (or 'Trace Pixel Art') [1]

--
[1] it is not clear from the description which trace method you used - 'pixel art' and 'large' are somewhat opposite terms.

I am using a 64-bit version of Inkscape.

I attach a test image. I am using the tool Path|Trace Pixel Art with the settings 1.000, 5, 4 and 1.000 and the output is B-spline curves.

Tested on WIndows XP (32bit) with Inkscape 0.91 and trunk rev. 14274.

Inkscape doesn't crash, but hangs (I had to kill the application after 25 minutes or so).

Well, if it's a performance problem, I'd be interested to hear whether it
has a possible fix (e.g., Xeon Phi or CUDA based).

@vinipsmaker - any chance you could comment?

@suv:

Leave bugs in my code to me. I don't want to steal development time from you guys. I mean, I don't want you guys have less time to work on the rest of Inkscape because you're trying to fix bugs in my code.

The first thing is that I cannot test on Windows. I managed to reproduce the bug in Linux, though.

Strangely, the CLI version of depixelize won't crash on the same image. I need to do other tasks now, but I may be able to look further in this issue at the weekend.

The bug is not fixed. Facing the same issue under Linux x64. GDB trace as follows:

Starting program: /usr/bin/inkscape

The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 27601 error_code 9 request_code 71 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Any ETA on this bug? I see it's been three years so maybe it's time to quit and find a workaround or something.

I just discovered this after trying to convert a tiny fraction of an image on Windows using the default settings (attached).

October 2019. This is still an issue. Is there a status?

December, still crashes with a warning of a large image. However, the image i am using isn't particularly large or complex, 800 by 650 px. reducing pixel count does not help either, still crash inkscape..
