Segmentation fault in jpeg plugin

Forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/46234 Certain jpeg files (from an HP Mobile SD Camera), cause the jpeg plugin in GIMP to fail: "Opening [file] failed: Plug-In could not open image", From the command line: "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/jpeg: fatal error: Segmentation fault" The same file opens fine with gThumb. Googling came up with a similar problem (in 2004) attributed to libexif. Although the exif data can be read (by gThumb, Nautilus), it reports "Internal error (unknown value 49147)" under the "Flash" heading. Example: http://librarian.launchpad.net/2849921/snap0290.jpg
Opens fine here. Perhaps Ubuntu should update their version of libexif. The one shipped with Debian etch (0.6.13) works fine.
Ubuntu Edgy has the same version that Debian Etch has, apart from that we use gimp 2.2.11 and gtk 2.10. This is the backtrace going with it:
