I wouldn't eat it. It sat too long in the danger zone of 40˚F - 140˚F. CDC, USDA et al recommend that food be left out no more than 2 hours.
There are better ways to cool food. 1. break it up into small batches 2. put the pan containing the food into a cold water bath to quickly cool it. 3. if it's a small quantity, put it directly into the fridge or the freezer.

What does file do for gumbo?
My personal taste has me sprinkling file over the top of my gumbo...not cooking with it. The sassafras (file) does it's work as the Gumbo cools, so add after cooking. 1/2 tsp per quart should be sufficient to thicken and flavor gumbo or soup.
What makes gumbo go bad?
I've had a couple of huge pots of Gumbo spoil on me because (1st time) I left it out over night (2nd time) I though I refrigerated it too fast, while it was still hot.You tell it's spoil when the soup is all bubbly with a foam like film and has a tainted smell/taste.Here's what I found out at ehow:Store your gumbo immediately after you're done cooking. For short-term storage, the gumbo can go in an airtight plastic container in the refrigerator. Seafood gumbo will last at most three or four days in the refrigerator. Keep the container at the bottom of the refrigerator, where it's coolest.2 Check the thermometer in the refrigerator, and ensure that the temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below. The freezer should be at least 0 degrees Fahrenheit.3 Freeze your gumbo to store it for longer periods. Put it in a sealable freezer bag, squeeze out the air and seal the bag before placing in the freezer. If you don't need to defrost it all at once, freeze smaller portions in several bags.4 Defrost your gumbo before eating it by transferring it from the freezer to the refrigerator, or letting it sit in a sealed bag in a bowl of cold water. Change the water every half an hour. Reheat your gumbo and eat it immediately after it finishes defrosting.Read more: How to Prevent Gumbo From Spoiling | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_7295611_prevent-gumbo-spoiling.html#ixzz1c9YGHtpD
