Changing component to gegl as this is where the crash happens. I'm at a loss though why it would crash -- I don't understand how the "root" variable could ever become "0xffffffff". Two questions: What exactly were you doing when the crash happened? Are you sure your memory (RAM) is okay?
FYI, I'm able to run memtest this morning. There is no error with my RAM. The crash happens whenever I run gimp (even after a fresh reboot) Following is some additional info that may help to resolve this issue. Feel free to ask for more info.

(In reply to comment #3) > FYI, I'm able to run memtest this morning. There is no error with my RAM. Just for reference: Which versions of gegl/babl do you have installed? Maybe one of the gimp/gegl/babl packages is damaged in some way. Please verify these by running this command as root: rpm -Va gimp\* gegl\* babl\* Thanks.

This issue is most likely triggered because you have xvnkb installed (which Fedora doesn't ship) and it is preloaded because either the LD_PRELOAD environment variable or /etc/ld.so.preload are set accordingly: 1. Both libgegl.so and xvnkb.so export a symbol named "root". 2. Because xvnkb.so is loaded earlier than libgegl.so, its "root" symbol takes precedence. It is initialized to -1 in xvnkb.so. 3. Because root isn't NULL (0), gegl_instrument() doesn't allocate memory and passes on the value -1 (0xFFFFFFFF) to timing_find(). 4. timing_find() tries to dereference root and crashes. Concluding, both gegl and xvnkb libs are broken: they should not export a symbol named just "root" as this may clash in many places (applications may have global symbols shadowed by this e.g.). I've already fixed this in gegl upstream: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gegl/commit/?id=75a5c4a5042aa3c531977637e5f0b5e62d14978c I'll build a new version soon which contains this fix. You should report this issue to xvnkb upstream so they can fix their library as well.

The problem has gone after update (Fedora 13).
(In reply to comment #12) > The problem has gone after update (Fedora 13). I hoped so :-). Have you contacted the xvnkb maintainers about this problem? Otherwise you might run into the same issue with another library that inadvertently exports a "root" symbol.
I sent xvnkb maintainers an email pointing to this bug on bugzilla. Hope they have time to fix it :-)
It shouldn't be too complicated/time-consuming ;-).
