Unopenable image

GIMP 2.6 on Mac OS X seems to be unable to open photos taken on a Nokia N900. When I try to open one (e.g. this one [1.3MB download]), GIMP hangs and a ufraw-gimp process starts consuming all my CPU until I kill it. This isn't just me being impatient — I let it sit there for over five minutes and it never managed to open it.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Can you open it in Preview?

FWIW it opens fast and without trouble in my linux GIMP 2.6, so it seems to be a Mac problem.

If you never use raw images then killing the ufraw plugin should do the trick:

chmod -x /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ufraw-gimp
