Comment(by sarah.bearse@…):

 There is not a specific set of operations that will cause the hang-up, but
 it seems to be linked to clicking on any of the toolbars (either to select
 a tool, or to Save the image, or any other toolbar selection).  I had
 believed it was the Lasso tool at first, but then experienced issues after
 any toolbar selection that I tried.  Sometimes it can take up to two
 minutes of various operations before it will hang, so it is not an
 immediate failure but it always occurs.

 I can reproduce this issue with any jpeg, I've tried four different
 images, it has also occurred after creating a new image file, after a few
 moments/minutes it will hang-up.

 I would like to be able to provide you a stack trace previous to the hang-
 up, but I'm not too savvy on how to do this. GIMP does not hard-crash,
 instead X11 becomes non-responsive requiring a force quit to end the app.
 When I do this I get a very lame backtrace using GDB.  If you could point
 me towards some info on providing better stack traces I could get you
 better information to work with?
