[Tilesathome] Inkscape freeze?

This (above) is what the console output is looking like since... at
least 5 hours. 

"28279:   inkscape -z -w 256 -h 256
--export-area=0.000000:0.000000:878.910000:878.904445

has about 1:28.76 CPU time until now but doesn't do anything further.

pmap -d 28279 shows

Yep, that might also explain the swapping a few hours ago as this
machine has only 2gb of ram ;)

Looking at my current queue, it seems, that this request has already
timed out: http://tah.openstreetmap.org/User/show/byid/405/

So, what am I supposed to do in this case? ctrl-c inkscape, delete the
malformed preferences.xml and continue? Or has anybody else seen this
problem too?
