Hi, Gimp-2.0pre2: I had a directory with 906 images in it but no up-to-date thumbnails, so I selected all (Ctl-A) in the Files list and clicked on the thumbnail pane to create the thumbs. It began working away, but stalled at image 255 or 906. I continued to hear a lot of disk activity, but no additional updates to the progress, and it locked my system up so that it no longer responded to mouse events, keyboard events, or even Ctl-Alt-Del. I had to (horrors!) hit the reset button to force a reboot :(. From the magic number (255), this looks to me like a bug in the thumbnail creation code -- possibly an artificial limit that's getting exceeded without warning. Is this known, or should I hit bugzilla?
