Ok. thanks for the feedback.

digiKam 0.8.x series (and older) use imlib2 library to handle image file format. I suspect a problem in this library with the BMP image loader.

With digiKam 0.9.0, we have removed the imlib2 depency and build a proper Image data framework named DImg witch can support 16 bits color depth, metadata like Exif and IPTC, ICC color profile etc...

Also, imlib2 library witch is used by E17 project is not very well maintened...
