I just noticed that starting gimp in a terminal with the switch "--stack-trace-mode=always" prevents the crash. "save as" saves and gimp stays on. So the command I use is: "gimp --stack-trace-mode=always &". This may or may not always work. I just made the observation. On other machines, set up differently, it may not even work at all. It's still worth a try, I guess. -- Frederic.
