This bug belong to the libkexif, but there is no entry for it in bugzilla and I got the crash with digikam. Shortly: if files generated by an old Kodak camera are under the digikam album directory, digikam crashes on startup with the below backtrace. This was working before, so I don't know if the bug is in the SVN version of digikam, libkexif or the OS (opensuse 10 beta4). The image is also attached. Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1". `system-supplied DSO at 0xffffe000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.

its a crash in libexif. can you try the following: * install commandline exif tool * from a terminal run "exif the_picture_which_caused_crash.jpeg" and see if it survives.

BTW, digikam 0.7.4 (from the original opensuse packages, running on 3.4.2) does not have this crash problem. libkexif is 0.2.1-6 in that case. The libexif library is the same, so I doubt the problem is there.
the reason why 0.7.4 does not crash could be because it doesn't scan image metadata. try opening up the properties of the image to see the exif information. exif is a commandline tool provided from libexif folks. there might be binaries provided by suse. otherwise you can get sources from libexif.sourceforge.net

well well well.... suse has taken a cvs snapshot and shipped it as libexif-0.6.13 i compiled this version and it does crash digikam and i traced the bug into libexif. you will need to complain to suse

exif the commandline frontend is included in SUSE btw.
is not present in final 10.0 on amd64 and ppc.
