Start Gimp. Open an existing image (for example a .gif file) and save it with a new name. After saving, close the image and Gimp crashes with a glibc giving a double free or corruption error. Console output: $gimp *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x083af068 *** gimp: terminated: Aborted (script-fu:10165): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error The memory address (0x083af068) is always the same. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gimp 2. Open an existing image 3. Save using a new name 4. Close the image Actual Results: Gimp crashed. Expected Results: Not crash.

I 've just downgraded to v.2.2.8-r1 and the problem persists.
Found the cause of the problem. I use KDE 3.5 with the gtk-qt theme engine for the Gnome applications to display nicely. After I changed the Gnome theme from the "GTK Styles and Fonts" Control Panel item, the problem was fixed. I had similar problems with Eclipse-sdk, which were solved following the same approach. Marked the bug invalid. Sorry for the inconvenience.
