There is a a couple known bugs in SuSE dealing with JPEGs. I can't imagine
that being the problem since you are going to save this as a XCF so you keep
your layer support, but SuSE updates for the JPEG libraries might still be
worth looking into.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Since we are using anecdotal evidence, I
haven't seen GIMP crash in quite some time, and I use it to do some pretty
funky stuff on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. Whenever I have asked for help,
and provided information on my problem, I have received prompt and
knowledgable assistance. I try to do the same when I know the answer. I
don't do any prepress work, so I'm not much help there. My specialties
lie more with image formats, GIS, and machine vision.

Funny, it never has for me :) A little more seriously, if you are feeling
that put upon, write me privately, and I will do my best to find you an
answer.
