Description hungerburg 2007-09-05 20:53:13 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
some jpeg images crash the plugin that loads them into the gimp; Firefox, ImageMagick or xli handle them without a pause.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open this image http://www.thegreatcrusades.com/photos/07_EntertainedStudio/images/02.jpg

2. the plugin crashes: the terminal reads:
jpeg-load: found EXIF block (7515 bytes)
jpeg-load: found image comment (10 bytes)
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/jpeg: fatal error: Speicherzugriffsfehler

3. thats it, a Segmentation fault.


Actual results:
the plugin crashes

Expected results:
the plugin should load the image

Does this happen every time?
yes, this happens every time

Other information:
I dont know whats wrong with the image, but the gimp should just take it. otherwise the gimp is a very fine application that I like to work with. Thanks for your patience, peter

Maybe a (known or new) problem of libexif?
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2007-09-06 09:06:21 UTC 
Confirmed, the jpeg plug-in eats all memory and then crashes in the
middle of libexif 0.6.16
Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2007-09-06 11:07:02 UTC 
The image linked above is from an Olympus camera. There is a known problem in libexif for the Olympus Makernotes, see bug #466044. I'm resolving this one as a duplicate.

Note: I can load this image without problems using the CVS version of libexif.  We should bump the minimum required version as soon as libexif 0.6.17 is released (or whatever the successor of 0.6.16 ends up being called).
