Comment 12 Nils Philippsen 2013-11-15 16:19:50 UTC 
I think it's best if we handled this upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712330
Comment 13 Duncan Grisby 2013-12-30 00:40:36 UTC 
For me at least, increasing the kernel's vm.max_map_count parameter fixes this issue. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712330#c8

Another user experienced a similar problem:

This happened while using Gausian blur, however after Fedora upgrade (from 17 to 20) and hardware hange (from Lenovo T500 to Toshiba Satellite P70-A) GIMP crashes frequently and almost randomly.

Comment 17 Eric 2014-01-16 04:19:15 UTC 
Confirmed, it is a 3.12 kernel issue, and increasing vm.max_map_count fixes the crash. Thank YOU!!! This issue has been killing me. Mr Grisby, you just saved my life.

For those who don't know how:

$ sudo sysctl -e vm.max_map_count=131060

To know how many maps are used:

$ wc -l /proc/$(pidof gimp)/maps.

68064 with the image I was trying to open tonight.

Another workaround proposed by a GIMP developer:

run:

$ MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 gimp
