Just to let you know: Since my update to lucid beta this issue seems to
have been solved for me.

Bug description:
I have two images which, when imported into f-spot, will cause it to run out of memory (at 1.1 GiB resident set size).

metacam cannot read the EXIF data and I suspect it may have been corrupted:

$ metacam IMG_4147.JPG
File: IMG_4147.JPG
WARNING: Unknown field type 0

                       Model: 

                X Resolution: 0 Pixels/???
                Y Resolution: 0 Pixels/???

If I copy the EXIF data from another file using "jhead -te IMG_4145.JPG IMG_4147.JPG", then repeat the import it works successfully.

Attaching file for debugging purposes.
