Description Ling Qi 2004-03-30 05:46:45 UTC 
GIMP 2.0.0 Win32 build
Windows XP Professional Japanese Edition

The same problem can be encountered at least two ways

-- 1 --
Upon first GIMP startup and building of .fonts.cache-1;
Crash with Error message "GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:140: failed to allocate
2147483649 bytes [newline] aborting..."
The occurence of this bug is similar to bug #132366
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132366

-- 2 --
Make a directory somewhere. Create some files inside with asian characters.
Use File->Open dialog box
select the before created directory
 (or, alternatively, point to the "c:\windows" directory which has several
wallpapers with japanese names by default)
Crash with Error message "GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:140: failed to allocate
2147483649 bytes [newline] aborting..."

Interestingly, not all asian characters cause the crash in method 2 above. One
can, for example, proceed to C:\Documents and Settings\[some user]\ and view the
"desktop" directory (デスクトップ) without errors.

Crash screenshot;

Addentum: after the screenshot described error dialogue, MSVC runtime reports
another error which formally terminates the application.

Message is as follows:

-- begin error dialogue --
Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.0.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
-- end error dialogue --

This is a misconfiguration on your side. Should probably be handled by the
installer. See bug #138299.
