Could you try the last version of GIMP (2.8.16) and if the problem
still persists, could you run GIMP in gdb, get a stacktrace upon the
crash and open a bug report with this information please?
More about getting a stacktrace:

For bug reports: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GIMP

Thanks!
