Just for comparison perposes, I used your image for bumpmapping, put the Gimp dashboard up to show resources. It is straight off, so a few 'oops' moments but 10% memory (of 8 GB installed) maximum used.

Okay, it's very likely a bug, I have repeated it many times now. I have no idea WHY it is happening, but here is WHAT is happening.
The steps above crashed GIMP every time.... IF I was using it on my second monitor. That makes no sense to me, but I did it 5 times in a row, then switched back to my laptop monitor and it worked fine. I suspect it is something OS or driver specific, it may even have to do with the combination of the 2nd monitor and the HUION tablet, but I noticed this problem before I got the tablet and did not understand bump maps well enough to figure the problem was not just me.
This was all after 2 full clean reboots to make sure it was not something else killing it.
I did try out GIMP 2.99.4 to see if the same happened there, but right now it will not drop down menus from my tablet pen at all, so here's hoping that gets fixed before release. Have to see if I can find the latest branch and try again.
