Bus errors and seg faults are almost always caused by trying to dereference a null pointer or uninitialized pointer; that's not a bug that shows up at compile time. Since you mention plugins, it could very well be a plugin that is missing or isn't loading correctly.

This isn't really the right list to help you track down the problem, though. You'll get better help from a Gimp list.
