Thanks for responding Ell!

It started again after the final release. It was not there in RC1.  I
didn't know about the env. variable. I'll check it out and let you know.

This may be a affect of the transition from gegl 0.3 to 0.4?

In the past, it was related to complicated images with high resolution and
usually setting GEGL_CACHE_SIZE to 2048 or thereabouts fixed it. Now, it
does not.
