Comment:
On the main gimp window, go:

file -> preferences -> folders

There is a text-box for swap folder. This is where gimp stores image
information when there is insufficient main memory.

If that setting points to a non-existing directory, gimp will not use a
swap folder, and runs into problems when it can't use main memory.

When gimp runs out of memory, it pops up a warning. If you tell gimp to
open a large file, it will then pop up this message continously, instead
of only once.
