Good day to all!
I have solved the problem by doing the following:
My scripts were creating 20+ layers and channels from Selections applied to the original image. Starting from a Sony .arw file, processed in RawTherapee, then imported into GIMP.
I have cut down the number of layers created from the script. GIMP's memory for the file is now around 5G, file on disk is now around 2G, safely stored on the internal drive.
Ofnut's technical explanation for the fseek in the API reminded me of .dbf limitations for the number of records stored. Limitations solved later by the .mdb Access files. This is remembrance of my GIS programming days.
Rich2005 suggestion of graduating to 2.8.18 runs into another set of issues for me. I will start another thread about these issues.
Thank you all,
Nicolas
