Inkscape 1.1 sometimes hangs during conversion to EPS #17

Similar to the behavior mentioned in #14 , the plugin sometimes hangs.

Symptom: An extra inkscape.exe process is shown that takes a large amount of CPU and runs forever. When killing this high-CPU inkscape process with the task manager, then the plugin shows an error like "failed to convert to EPS".

Cause: Inkscape gets stuck in an endless loop while converting to EPS. This must be an Inkscape bug, but I have not yet found out the underlying issue. Investigating this further may require a debug build of Inkscape (not sure if the nightly builds are enough) and attaching gdb. Or, with some luck, the error disappears with a newer Inkscape version.

Windows 10, Inkscape 1.1, some CutStudio version (not relevant)
