I have this same GIMP bug. I use gimp version 2.6.7-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic i386. It seems when I zoom in on a file such as .xcf and use various brushes, the computer will get slower and slower and and everything freezes except the mouse. This happens even when there is still plenty of RAM left. Trying Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does not work and Alt+F2 can't be invoked to kill the frozen gimp package. The user is forced to do a hard reboot and start all over.
