Then it's probably a bug in GLib. It's not reporting an error in the parameters passed to the function in question, it's reporting an error with the "locale" data that specifies various characteristics of your location, such as the string used as a "decimal separator" (typically either a "." or a ",").

You should report this to the GLib developers. You should probably first try the gtk-list mailing list:

	http://www.gtk.org/mailinglists.html

although, if this is on Windows, you might want to ask the gimpwin-users mailing list instead:

	http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

There's nothing we can to to fix it (especially not in the Gimp!).
