Description sam tygier 2008-10-08 21:09:31 UTC 
opening the image
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/7052710/P1120104.jpg
causes GIMP to use up all available RAM in 2.4 and 2.6 versions

other applications open it without errors.

Isn't this the known Olympus MakerNotes bug in libexif?

Known bug in libexif. Fixed in CVS, but that fix has still not been released.
