GIMP 2.8.14 Hangs on Loading Data on OSX 10.10

GIMP 2.8.4 Hangs on Loading Data on OSX 10.10 even under fresh install with all app data blasted away.
2.8.14 correction
It could be building the initial font cache.
(In reply to comment #2) > It could be building the initial font cache. That's actually exactly where it hangs. Worked fine on OSX 10.9
It could be that the font cache on OSX is actually built somewhere in the GIMP package for your platform, then this would happen once for each new version. Subsequent runs of GIMP won't have that then. If you can check what the GIMP process is doing during this phase, you will most likely find that many font files are parsed.
Related to Bug #449848?
Maybe - if this is due to the font cache, but we won't know that without a reply from Benjamin.

How would I check what the GIMP process is doing when it hangs on OSX?
Have a look at http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/14409/how-to-monitor-file-access-for-an-os-x-application

Then you will have to wait that out.
Let's assume this to be a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 449848 ***
