Description GreenAsJade 2009-10-06 22:26:22 UTC 
I inadvertently typed a large number into the font size selection dialog of the Text Tool.   Gimp crashed, complaining about "cannot allocate memory".

To reproduce this bug I actually had to switch between "px" and "pt" a couple of times ... this wasn't necessary the first time, not quite sure why that is.

I got the crash at 8000 pt.

Refusing text that large is fine, but crashing is a bit inelegant :)
