You get the latest wdb/gdb from HP:

Though I've signed in, it seems I can't get it:

Beside HP Passport, you have to join DSPP.

Thank you. Did it and installed gdb. Unfortunately it says Gimp has no debugging info.

Hopefully you can still get a stack trace.

How do I get a stack trace? Only found some script on DSPP, but no idea if that's what you mean.

See my reply above on Jun 30.

please do not use or advise "strings core", at least not as a first step in debugging. the first step is to obtain a stack trace as dennis has shown.

Ok. Here's the result in attachment.

Typically aborts in malloc/free are due to heap corruption. There is a bug in gimp.
I suppose if you have the source and want to fix it, you could use gdb's heap corruption commands to track down where the problem is.
