Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gimp

Summary says it all really.

This is a serious data loss bug. Anyone saving their work in Photoshop
format (PSD) on 64bit Feisty will LOSE their work. The file written is
corrupt and cannot be loaded, but the saving appears to work (even the
preview image works), so the bug is only discovered when the user tries
to open the file again.

That the user can continue to work on the file exacerbates the problem,
since the potential loss of work is much greater than if Gimp simply
crashed.

The current Ubuntu-repository version of GIMP, 2.2.13, exhibits the bug.
The bug was identified and fixed long ago:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335130
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384762

>From the latter, it appears that 2.2.14+ contains the fix.

Seeing as how Gimp is (the only graphics editor) installed by default,
this potentially affects every single Ubuntu user out there.
