gimp crashes at startup while loading vbr brushes

os: windows xp sp3 gimp version: 2.8.18 and 2.8.16 vbr fonts cause gimp's crash at startup
i mean vbr brushes. i am sorry
There have been some fixes WRT vbr loading, please upgrade to GIMP 2.8.18 and report back. If it still crashes, please attach one of the crashing brush files to this bug.
Temporal coincidence with https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/5bxrar/selfmade_animated_brushes_gih_crashing_gimp/ - ilianus, is this you on reddit, too? And if yes, does this happen with both .gih and .vbr?
@Michael Schumacher the guy on reddit is not me i use the last release version "gimp 2.8.18" from the oficial web site i thought that all the vbr brushes cause the crash of Gimp but when i tested them "one by one" i found out that only the folowing brushes cause the crash: Hardness-100.vbr Star.vbr 1-pixel.vbr Calligraphic-Brush-0.vbr Calligraphic-Brush-1.vbr Calligraphic-Brush-2.vbr Calligraphic-Brush-3.vbr Circle-1.vbr Circle-11.vbr Circle-13.vbr Circle-15.vbr Diagonal-Star-17.vbr Diagonal-Star-11.vbr Circle-19.vbr Circle-17.vbr Circle-9.vbr Circle-7.vbr Circle-5.vbr Circle-3.vbr Diagonal-Star-25.vbr
You're seeing bug 760137. Doesn't have anything to do with the brushes per se, but they are the first thing that can trigger this when GIMP starts up.
