I entered a bug report, but strace shows that it's a FreeBSD problem, since gimp operates entirely in read only mode. It is difficult to reproduce, but I've got the strace output and a copy of an affected file (as well as a backup of the unbroken original). All those are fairly large, so to share them I'd need somewhere to upload them. More information can be found here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376687 >How-To-Repeat: 1. I create an .xcf file with the gimp and save it. 2. Afterwards I create a backup of the file. 3. I close it and open it again. Sometimes I get the following message: XCF: This file is corrupt! I could not even salvage any partial image data from it. 4. I copy the backup over the original. 5. Opening it works. >Fix: Don't use Fat32. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
