The Dr. Memory instructions said to add those two static flags.  The 
problem is evident without them, it just cannot be run in Dr. Memory.  
The

" -Lc:\progs\devlibs61/lib -lpoppler "

part was selected out of the original Inkscape compile line,  which had 
many, many other libraries linked in.  These were eliminated in a binary 
search, testing at each step to see if the bug was still present.  That 
showed that linking in poppler was enough to trigger this issue.

The devlibs people tell me that that the 64 bit of Poppler does not have 
this problem, it is specific for the 32 bit build.
