Comment 1 Michael Chudobiak 2007-02-16 18:22:16 UTC

This looks like a libexif bug, rather than gThumb.

Could you attach the image that caused the crash to this bug report, or email it to mjc@avtechpulse.com? Thanks.

Comment 2 Michael Chudobiak 2007-02-16 19:25:31 UTC

I can display your image on gthumb 2.7.8 and 2.9.1, with libexif-0.6.13 installed.

However, your camera is recording empty date fields in the exif data, which is probably causing an older version of libexif to crash. The camera is not obeying the standard...

Try upgrading libexif to 0.6.13. That should fix things.
