Subject: gimp crash

Hello,

You recently submitted a bug report on Debian's Gimp package [0]; cou
you provide more information?

If you

  cd;
  ulimit -c unlimited;
  rm -fr .gimp*;
  gimp;

you should get a 'core' file. Does

  gdb core $(which gimp)
  bt

give a sane backtrace (or does it say "stack corrupted?").

Was this problem present on previous version of gimp? Is it only
present when removing ~/.gimp*? Did gimp work immediately before
remove those files?

What if you run LANG=C gimp instead?

Thanks,
Justin
