I am contending with a similar malfunction: I can export by extension, 
but when done Gimp closes. The exported file exists, but I need to 
restart Gimp after every export. No loss of capability, but annoying.

Judging by the flood of Gimp-related posts of late and the great variety 
of the issues raised, there seem to be major stability or environmental 
compatibility problems. I am running Gimp 2.6.12 on Ubunty 12.04.
I found a Gimp user list 
(https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list) and intend to 
check it out the moment I get around to it.
