Nope. It fails exactly the same on my laptop which runs 2.99.16. Same message,
same error. And what's more puzzling, this error happens at the same point of
memory allocation (more or less), though the machines have a different amount
of RAM (512 MB for the one I'm using currently, 256 MB on my laptop). Go figure
;)

PS : I have recompiled both glib2 and gimp yesterday, just in case…

Cheers,
Vincent
