libexif issue?

See bug 362866 and it's duplicates for similar crashes in Nautilus. Also, 6 such stacktraces total so far, however 3 distinct reporters only. Ubuntu Edgy for all these reports.

Probably an issue specific to that particluar libexif version?

Can any of the reporters of these bugs tell us which libexif version they have
in their systems? 

Also attaching any of the offending images would help. Thank you!

Comment 15 Claudio Saavedra 2006-11-13 15:57:32 UTC

I downloaded some images from the Encuentro Linux Chile 2006[1] and found out that I can reproduce this bug, using any software that reads the exif info through libexif (pg. eog, gthumb). I hacked a quick gtk+ program to only display the images and there is no problem at all, so this is most probably a problem between certain exif headers and libexif.

I have libexif version 0.6.13-4 from Debian Unstable.

Comment 16 Claudio Saavedra 2006-11-13 18:02:43 UTC

I tested with the latest CVS libexif version and this problem seems to be fixed there. I can't say exactly what the problem was, but it's not a bug in EOG nor any GNOME component. Closing as NOTGNOME.
