gimp-2.6.6 from slackware 13.0 rc1 froze the hole system

Anyone has the same problem as the subject? I was just opening some jpg files. I had no chance to check what is the problem? Please how could I debug this even after the system is frozen? I tried to remove gimp-2.6.6 and install gimp-2.4.7 from 12.2 and it did not have the problem.

Sorry gimp-2.6.6, running on Slackware64-current (16/7/09), opening jpg files perfectly here. Could there be a problem with that specific jpg, or perhaps it is very big and you have a flaky memory chip.

I think this is not related to specific image file. And gimp 2.4.7 works without any problem. Need to know how to debug gimp 2.6.6.

I'm running a precompiled 2.6.6 from rworkman* on rc1_32 without trouble.

*thanks!

I tried this without any luck, gimp 2.4.7 from 12.2 works!

Other observation: Under runlevel 4, gimp-2.6.6 kicked me out of xfce session only, but under runlevel 3, gimp froze the whole system.

No problems with gimp-2.6.6-x86_64-2 on Slackware64 -current here.

Code:

Here everything works fine as well... gimp 2.6.6 on slackware64-current.
Tried with small files, large files, jpg, png and others.

It must be something specific to your system

Magically, the problem seems solved after the following upgrade. I wonder why???

The problem was probably with pixman it has something to do with the cairo graphics system. I should have suggested that earlier, but as I had pixman problems and gimp was working on my system, it looked like something else.
