apparent bug in Gimp 2.6.3, Help

I was just automatically upgraded under Fedora 9 to Gimp 2.6.3.

Help keeps crashing. It comes up with the first page on the right and a window with contents on the left. clicking on an item on the left has no effect. Clicking on any link on the right crashes. Also, clicking on the icon in the upper right which is supposed to take you to the gimp website crashes.

When I run it from the command line, I get /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/help-browser: fatal error: Segmentation fault

So it appears to be unusable at present. Of course, I can go the gimp documentation web site and read it there, but that is less convenient.

Is this known and in the process of being fixed, or, should I report it to the gimp bugzilla?

It wasn't listed as a new bug, at least as far as I could see, so I submitted it.
