Can you give me details please?  cat /proc/version, geeqie --version,
etc?

You should be running 64bit mode, you're probably running out of
low-mem (under 4gb) on the system.  But again, more details would
help.

Could you try cloning the latest git from:

git://geeqie.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/geeqie/geeqie

and building it and letting us know what happens?

Can you send a screenshot from 'top' just before it happens?  You
could also run geeqie with --debug to see if that gives more info.
