Please describe the problem:
Fatal error when trying to open JPG files. This just started happening after the most recent Ubuntu GIMP package got installed.

Plug-In could not open image


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the open dialog
2. Select a jpeg
3. OPEN


Actual results:
Dialog that plugin failed, image can't be opened

Expected results:
JPG file would open in GIMP

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Libexif has previously had problems with exif information from Olympus cameras -- could this be it?
Comment 1 Oliver Iberien 2007-07-13 16:33:02 UTC 
Should mention, this output is from a PowerBook with the MacPorts GIMP.  My Ubuntu box does the same thing, however. Sorry!
Comment 2 Michael Schumacher 2007-07-14 07:24:43 UTC 
Which version of libexif do you use?
Comment 3 Raphaël Quinet 2007-07-15 21:22:22 UTC 
No need to ask for the libexif version, since the stack trace leading to the crash in exif_set_sshort() is common to many bug reports related to the old libexif.

Upgrading to the latest libexif (version >= 0.6.15) should solve this issue.
