Gimp on fedora 20 is unable to allocate memory

[Ambrogio De Lorenzo]

Hi all,

gimp 2.8.10 with new kernels core dump on creating or opening large
image.

There is a workaround to solve the problem.
I aliased the gimp command with
 #alias gimp='MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 gimp'

The problem is related to new metods for allocation memory on the kernel
3.12.

Bye
