GIMP 2.2.p2 (FreeBSD) dies instantly when trying to use ink tool with Wacom tablet

Start GIMP Create new image Select ink tool Try to draw result: Segmentation fault (core dumped) GIMP dies at the moment you touch picture with ink tool and tablet. No freezing, it just shuts down immediately. Naturally, I would expect a stroke to appear instead. Ink tools works normally with mouse.
If you could provide a stack trace, that would help a lot. Please try running gimp with the "--stack-trace-mode always" command-line option.
Do you mean this: alt@alt> gimp --stack-trace-mode always script-fu: Script-Fu Virhe suorittaessa (load "/home/alt/.gimp-2.2/scripts/extract_Frames.scm") ERROR: end of file inside list gimp: fatal error: Segmentation fault
+ Trace 52458
(script-fu:293): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error Killed I had to kill it, it didn't exit by itself. First time it locked all input, next time just keyboard.
Now if your build had more useful debugging info that stack trace would be even more useful. But it's a start.
I don't have a chance to test this myself right now but I have asked other tablet users (on Linux) and they reported that the ink tool would work for them on GIMP 2.2-preX. I wonder if this is specific to your setup. Does the ink tool in GIMP 2.0 work for you?
Ink tool worked in gimp 2.0 and (when I installed it again) it still works. Only in GIMP 2.2 it crashes. Should I do some other tests? Like, compiling with debug-flags (if there is such a switch in FreeBSD)?
I apologize, my mistake. It appears that this too was a result of having HistorySize setting in XF86Config. When I removed HistorySize from configuration, this problem vanished. HistorySize was inherited to config from some how-to documents that drifted around net. Closing as NOTGNOME.
