[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 117221] f-spot crashes when importing specific photos (specific tags not accepted?)

[bilbo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: f-spot

F-spot crashes during the  importation of some specific  photos: the
problem happens with photos that were previously processed with i-photo
manager (the macintosh photo manager).

To get this bug, the following  sequence has been done:
- on the macintosh computer, exportation of some photos
- then, i have tried to import this photos on f-spot
- when imporing the photo, f-spot fails to import the photos and crashes 

It seeems that a tag inside this photo is rejected by f-spot. I got
message "unrepresentable DateTime" in debug report when f-spot crashed.
Here are some messages:

"System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.
Parameter name: Parameters describe an unrepresentable DateTime."

at the end of debug report:

=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 
used by your application.
=================================================================

I would be very pleased if you had some solutions or ideas to avoid this
problem.

Thanks a lot.

PS: i am running Ubuntu Fesity Fawn 2.6.20-15-generic kernel
