GIMP keeps locking up

Xubuntu 22.04.1
GIMP 2.10.32

As reported here:

GIMP has started freezing on me at completely unpredictable times.  Sometimes it occurs after a very long session and sometimes it happens soon after restarting GIMP.  Today I worked on a medium sized JPG for about an hour.  The last step was to adjust the hue.  I pressed H, the Hue menu displayed and then GIMP froze.  There is no recovery beyond this point.  It appears that this can occur at any time, in the middle of an operation or when selecting a new one.  This is happening to me multiple times per week and I have not found any common denominator.

My question is: are others experiencing this as well?  If so, please respond here and also please add your comment to the bug report.  I don't believe this will get escalated until more people indicate that it is a problem.

Thanks.

I have the PPA from Panda Jim, which is very stable on my distro (Ubuntu-MATE 20.04), which is very stable.

A question though, you have 32 Gb of RAM, how much did you allow GIMP to use?
at least 2/3 of your total RAM is a good rule of thumb.
Go to Edit > Preferences, a window opens... here are my setting (what are yours?)

I have it set to 15 GB. I'll try upping it to 20 GB and see if anything improves.
