Description sworddragon2 2014-01-19 12:21:10 UTC 
I have made a screenshot with the size if 1680 x 1050 and if I'm trying to scale it up to 800% on both sides wothout interpolation GIMP crashes with this error:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ gimp
GLib: Cannot convert message: Could not open converter from 'UTF-8' to 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'

(gimp:1694): GLib-ERROR **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.39.3/./glib/gmem.c:108: failed to allocate 16384 bytes


The architecture is x86_64 with 16 GiB of memory available. It seems there are 2 issues here:

- GLib can't allocate this amount of memory.
- GIMP doesn't check if the allocation succeeded and crashes (an error message and aborting of the last action would be better).

Do you run the 3.12 linux kernel? Then it is most likely a duplicate of bug 719619.
Comment 2 sworddragon2 2014-01-19 12:56:13 UTC 
The system is running on Linux 3.13 RC8.
