GIMP here opens that greyscale JPEG photo of a dog fine. It's possible you have
some problems with plug-ins. If you're not afraid of using the command line /
console / terminal / etc. you can try using dtruss (see
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=strace+os+x&ia=web ) or similar to see what is going
wrong (or at least compress the dump and send it to us for analysis).
