#165 Scim causes gimp plugins to crash

[Yuri]

Symptom:
When I have scim running and trying to save any image in gimp into any particular format, like png, gimp plugin 'file-png' crashes.

When I delete /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/immodules/im-scim.so problem disappears.

See crash stack below. Crash is in static destructors. Seems like somehow the code of destructor is already mmapped out when it's called.

It's easy to catch in debugger. During save options gimp dialog detect the pid of file-png process and attach to it with gdb. Then hit Save in the dialog and you will see crash.

scim has moved development to github. Seeing that this ticket is unverified I ask you to kindly open a new ticket at https://github.com/scim-im/scim/issues/ if you are still affected by this bug. Thank you.
