You recent patch completely fixes the problem for me.

 Since I cannot reproduce this (i.e. GIMP works just fine)
 I'd need more input on this.
 
 Your stacktrace seems like it crashes when initialising the
 help_pages but I can guess that only from the arguments to
 the g_str function. Could you please compile libgimp with
 debugging information and report again?

 Since about two weeks, setting LANG to any value results on a segmentation
 fault on startup.
 
 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
 0x4015822d in g_strdup (str=0x81e8273 "help_page") at gstrfuncs.c:56
 gstrfuncs.c:56: No such file or directory.
 (gdb) bt

 #2  0x88b4b30 in ?? ()
 #3  0x42207265 in ?? ()
 

There's only one place where the string "help_page" is ever used and that's 
around line 1564 in menus.c:

  gtk_object_set_data (GTK_OBJECT (menu_item), "help_page",
   (gpointer) entry-help_page);

which is called shortly after

  gtk_item_factory_create_item (item_factory,
(GtkItemFactoryEntry *) entry,
callback_data,
callback_type);

This is the function other people reported to crash, so I think you are
observing the same problem. I thought I would found the problem when I 
found out that the german catalog had a multiline help-line string with 
linebreaks etc. as the translation for a plugin menu_path. Up till
today only people using the german catalogs reported this problem. But 
now you are the second one to claim that it is not related to the german
catalog. I have today introduced a patch that should guard us from using
unintentionally wrong translations. 

I haven't beeen able to reproduce the problem, so I depend on more
bugreports. Please update your gimp tree and recompile (everything!), then 
tell us if the problem remains. 


Salut, Sven

Since about two weeks, setting LANG to any value results on a segmentation
fault on startup.

(The stack-trace option, btw, outputs:)

(i.e. the same output you always get with that option ;)
