Most likely a MacOS problem. Unfortunately not many Mac users on this formum.
Can you rule that the .xcf file is the overall problem ? Does Gimp open and can you create a new blank canvas as the only open image or can you open any other sort of image without Gimp freezing ?
Probably that .xcf files is junk and corrupt in some way. Is it a large file / many layers ? A very large file might be running out of memory and spooling to disk, getting stuck.
