It is of course unacceptable that a broken script crashes GIMP. That is
why it is absolutely necessary that you open a bug report for this
problem on bugzilla.gnome.org and attach the script that causes the
problem there. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem yet, but
given a bug-report it will eventually be fixed.
