[Gimp-user] GIMP crashing on memory allocation (WinXP)
I'm trying to edit some large tiffs (620 Mb) and while slow it was going OK. Then suddenly (nothing changed AFAIK) I start getting errors GLib-ERROR* gmem.c:130 failed to allocate 16384 bytes aborting. This was initially on GIMP 2.4.7 but I bit the bullet and installed 2.6.8 to see if that changed anything (it didn't). I take it that the faulting module is libglib.dll which seems to have a version of 2.16.37 (I believe I had an older GTK+ but the GIMP 2.6 windows installer updated it.) This is on the Windows binary distribution. I am running on Win XP sp3 32 bit (x86) with 3 gb switch and USERVA switch set to 2540.. Looking at my system when the crash occurs I see my physical memory (2gb) is maxed out and also GIMP VM is 2 gb. I guess one question is does the windows build of GIMP compile with LargeAddressSpcaeAware set, though I suspect even if that was set in the binary it would still max out. That doesn't explain why it seemed to be working and just now I have problems. I tried playing with the tile cache size option, but that just seems to change how fast the error occurs. It seems that the tiff file open plugin is completing and GIMP is either starting to render or at times render is complete and I try to use a selection tool and then the crash occurs. scott s. . ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
