Gimp 2.4.0 rc2 access violation in WinXP - what to do?

Hi developers:

I have several times received an AV crash when double-clicking on a file to open it.
From what I've gathered lurking, this is more likely to be a GTK+ problem than a GIMP problem but with 2.4.0 final presumably just around the corner I thought I shouldn't just ignore it.

FWIW the main error (per the drmingw dump) is gimp-2.4.exe caused an Access Violation at location 00675c23 in module gimp-2.4.exe Reading from location 00000000. (I have the dump if its any use)

I searched for "product:GIMP Access Violation" in bugzilla and only found one hit :
314529 filed against
2.2.8 in 2005 and with no activity since 2007-07-25 14:29 UTC.

As a non-programming, non-developing lurker should I just ignore this, file it against Gimp (since I can't tell where it really belongs) with as much description as possible, mention it somewhere else .... ?

Regards ... Alec -- buralex-gmail

This problem has been addressed and fixed in SVN, a new pre-release with this crasher fixed should appear soon.
