I was just looking at the above text and suddenly realised that the path 
had turned to garbage in the third g_print line which I had put into 
base.c like this:-

void
base_init (void)
{
  gchar *swapfile;
  gchar *path;

#ifdef HAVE_ASM_MMX
  use_mmx = use_mmx && (intel_cpu_features() & (1 << 23)) ? 1 : 0;
  g_print ("using MMX: %s\n", use_mmx ? "yes" : "no");
#endif

  toast_old_temp_files ();

  /* Add the swap file  */
  if (base_config->swap_path == NULL)
    base_config->swap_path = g_strdup (g_get_tmp_dir ());

  swapfile = g_strdup_printf ("gimpswap.%lu", (unsigned long) getpid ());

  path = g_build_filename (base_config->swap_path, swapfile, NULL);

  g_print ("swapfile is: %s\n", path);

  g_free (swapfile);

  tile_swap_add (path, NULL, NULL);

  g_free (path);

  paint_funcs_setup ();

  g_print ("swapfile is still: %s\n", path);
}

so for some reason the path is being messed up in the lines between my 
two added g_prints. Any advice?

Michael.

p.s. Just did a bit more testing and found that if I change the path to 
/tmp the I get this:-

swapfile is: /tmp/gimpswap.32180
swap add filename: /tmp/gimpswap.32180/n[Invalid UTF-8]
swapfile is still: (¹g@(¹g@xxxxxxxxxxx

so it looks like that corruption eats into the path at some point during 
initialisation.
