Seriously,
how much RAM does the machine have?
How much swap?
What else is running when gimp crashes?

There is far more to your problem than the software you are running...

Gimp should be using shared memory too - have a look at whether
you have allocated enough in your kernel (read the gimp INSTALL text)
