Strange segfault involving GIMP

I have the strangest problem ever, in which GIMP causes LXPanel to segfault.

Here's what happens:
1. I start GIMP
2. I load an image
3. I load another image
4. I close one of them
5. LXPanel segfaults

I don't know why this happens, and I haven't got a clue how to make it stop happening. Here's the output I got when I ran LXPanel from the terminal, then did the GIMP stuff:
$ lxpanel
/usr/share/themes/Orbital/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:100: Murrine configuration option "hilight_ratio" will be deprecated in future releases. Please use "highlight_shade" instead.
lxpanel : X error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
lxpanel : type is not XA_CARDINALSegmentation fault
(that first warning gets printed every time I start a GTK program)

Any help would be appreciated.

This has been fixed in SVN. If you are able to build and run the SVN version, your crash should be solved.

Thanks, you're right. Built from SVN and it works like a charm.
