(sorry if this is the wrong place for bug reports, but it makes sense to
send them here :)
Had 1.1.9 crash on me twice, doing the same thing:
Added text in a new layer (clicked text tool, typed in text (clicked ok),
clicked the anchor button to put the text in the new layer).
the keey transparent button was not selected. when the text was placed in
the new layer, it "filled-up" the layer (wasn't a dotted yellow line
around just the text, but rather around the entire layer).
then, clicked on the selection tool and tried to select just the text.
gimp went down when i first clicked to try to select it with this:

hope this helps a bit. (i wasn't using any plug-ins at the time. just
trying to select some text). it might have run out of memory (have vmware
running on another desktop :P), but it might want to check for available
memory before allocating and trapping the error somehow to let the user
save his/her work.
anyways, words can't begin to say how thankful i am for the gimp, so i'll
put it simply by saying "thanx", understanding you know it's a big one. :)
