I'm not a heavy user of gimp, but I've noticed it segfaulting regularly (e.g. when saving, adjusting colours) whenever I've tried using it in the last couple of weeks or more. Having updated my amd64 snapshot + packages this morning to I'm still seeing problems. Here's an example backtrace from github which suggests the problem might be in bable? I wonder if anyone else has seen this problem, or has any idea what it might be (or what might have caused it)?
