Inkscape crashes when Exporting a Large PNG File from an SVG with over 20 Layers (Intermittent)

Summary:

When I export a PNG of 16000 x 9000 px at 96 PPI through the Inkscape Editor on an SVG file that is a bunch of overlapping rectangles transitioning from red to green, the editor crashes, and I don't get a PNG file.

This is not an issue that happens in every SVG file; it's intermittent.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the SVG file from the Sample Attachments section at the bottom.
Open the Export Panel, either Shift + Ctrl + E, or the Open Export icon on the right-hand toolbar.
Make sure the width is 16000 px, and height is 9000 px, at 96 DPI.
Choose a file location easy to reach, such as Desktop.
Click "Export."

What happened?

I get this stack trace in the crash window:
