I tried to get image information with "identify", but didn't get any answer.

#identify "c:\temp\test.svg"

After starting the above command in the console, in the temp folder growth up a file named "magick-RqduHm7u" with a size of 4.870.924KB and one named "magick-amHtrNiR" with a size of 164KB. After about 10 minutes I got a "strong" windows error: identify.exe Error in application ...

Is this a endless loop?

Thanks for any help.

Can you post a URL to test.svg so we can download and inspect it?

This is the link to the SVG file, which makes problems:

http://dornbirn.at/fileadmin/dornbirn/images/test.svg

Thanks a lot for testing.

The SVG file contains an image that is 10583 by 9551 pixels and has a viewport of 20989 by 29705 pixels. That explains why ImageMagick is caching the pixels to disk and why the pixel cache is so large. Theoretically the process will complete as long as you have enough free space on disk.

Thanks a lot for your explanation. I think I can follow.
This SVG file is not wrong, but it doesn't make sense really. Do you agree?

It is an odd SVG image but we got it working like this:
