Came across a strange problem that just started today. After I open Gimp, if I try to open a file to edit from one particular folder, it crashes. If I try to open files from other folders, it works fine. I've always used this one folder to store files I want to edit, so not sure what the problem is. I deleted my Gimp user folder, then re-booted Gimp but that did not help. I'm using Gimp 2.6.11. Any ideas why this could be happening or how to fix it?

Any files with strange characters in the name in that folder? Gimp 2.6 is from an era where all file names were assumed to be ASCII.
