[Gimp-developer] Gimp 2.4.0 rc2 access violation in WinXP - what to do?

[buralex]

Hi developers:

I have several times received an AV crash when double-clicking on a file 
to open it.
From what I've gathered lurking, this is more likely to be a GTK+ 
problem than a GIMP problem but with 2.4.0 final presumably just around 
the corner I thought I shouldn't just ignore it.


FWIW the main error (per the drmingw dump) is
gimp-2.4.exe caused an Access Violation at location 00675c23 in module 
gimp-2.4.exe Reading from location .

(I have the dump if its any use)

I searched for product:GIMP Access Violation  in  bugzilla and only 
found one hit :
314529 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314529  filed against 
2.2.8 in 2005 and with no activity since 2007-07-25 14:29 UTC.


As a non-programming, non-developing lurker should I just ignore this, 
file it against Gimp (since I can't tell where it really belongs) with 
as much description as possible, mention it somewhere else  ?

This problem has been addressed and fixed in SVN, a new pre-release
with this crasher fixed should appear soon.
