It doesn't always crash, but quite often, when trying to view a photo's properties.

Thanks for the nice backtrace. The crash is due to, what looks like, an invalid flash status. I pushed a patch to master that will print a diagnostic message before crashing.

Can you please try it and report what it prints before crashing? Maybe we should handle it more elegantly but I want to know what the string looks like before doing further changes.
