There's only one place where the string "help_page" is ever used and that's
around line 1564 in menus.c:
gtk_object_set_data (GTK_OBJECT (menu_item), "help_page",
(gpointer) entry->help_page);
which is called shortly after
gtk_item_factory_create_item (item_factory,
(GtkItemFactoryEntry *) entry,
callback_data,
callback_type);
This is the function other people reported to crash, so I think you are
observing the same problem. I thought I would found the problem when I
found out that the german catalog had a multiline help-line string with
linebreaks etc. as the translation for a plugin menu_path. Up till
today only people using the german catalogs reported this problem. But
now you are the second one to claim that it is not related to the german
catalog. I have today introduced a patch that should guard us from using
unintentionally wrong translations.
I haven't beeen able to reproduce the problem, so I depend on more
bugreports. Please update your gimp tree and recompile (everything!), then
tell us if the problem remains.
Salut, Sven
