plug-in tool-safe-mode segfaults on launch

Gimp segfaults during launch with the following info: ---------- This is a development version of The GIMP. Debug messages may appear here. gimp_composite: use=yes, verbose=no +mmx +sse -sse2 -3dnow -altivec -vis /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/plug-ins/tool-safe-mode: fatal error: Segmentation fault/usr/local/lib/gimp/1.3/plug-ins/tool-safe-mode (pid:1443): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: S

This is essentially the same as an earlier reported bug which was solved by upgrading to fontconfig 2.2. However, in my case the bug appears despite having fontconfig 2.2 installed. (Typing fc-cache --version reports 2.2) Library details: fontconfig 2.2 freetype 2.1.5 Pango 1.2.5 GTK+ 2.2.4 GLib 2.2.3 Xft 2.1.2 xrender 0.8.3 render 0.8
When you deal with software in development, you're supposed to clean up old versions before installing new ones. Simply remove tool-safe-mode from your plugin directory. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 118517 ***
