What I got was X freezing which seemed quite related to what is listed under 85103. I am reading the ones you mentioned now: 118356 talks about the problem I faced, and asks, like I did, for a work around. But the deep cause seems to be 85103 nonetheless. I agree that 85103 is out of scope for Gimp at all, and resolving 118356 will do it. 122707 seems to be entirely unrelated to the crashing, and talks about a nice feature.
