Was trying to investigate this further. It turns out that current SVN of pygegl will not compile: gegl.override: In function '_wrap_gegl_node_render': gegl.override:332: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of 'gegl_node_blit' gegl.override:332: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'gegl_node_blit' gegl.override:332: warning: passing argument 6 of 'gegl_node_blit' makes integer from pointer without a cast gegl.override: In function 'pygegl_register_classes': gegl.override:139: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules due to a change in the blitting api. Tiny patch is attached to fix it. The crash I originally reported still happens; none of the g_free calls seem to be freeing anything other than glib allocated memory. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I don't see any calls to *_Malloc() or *_Free(). There are a number of calls to g_free(). If any of them are being called on items that were not allocated by a glib routine that could be the cause of the crash. That page has also made me aware of at least one change needed for 64-bit machines. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

First, there will be some 3.0 alpha releases starting at the end of August(?). Version 2.6 will come after 3.0 has stabilized since it's planned to be a release which aids in upgrading from 2.x to 3.0 Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Have you contacted the python developers then? This looks a lot like a regression in Python and I guess they would like to hear about it before the release the next version.

I mean python 2.6 -- that's SVN python's current version number.

The stable python is 2.5.1 - there is not even mention of a 2.6 release on teh python.org pages.
