Um, I don't
know all of the background of this issue but surely a better option would
just be to _fix _libexif? 

As mentioned in my original email, I'm willing
to look into the problem, including libexif - *if* that is where the
problem is. I haven't had anyone reply yet with a 'yes, this is most
certainly in libexif'. My C skills are quite protozaic. I've already tried
running f-spot in valgrind, and it blew up immediately. I assume I'd have
to write a simple test app in C, and run that in valgrind. While this in
itself isn't outside my capabilities, actually finding the problem might
be. Also I have extremely little free time these days - I have a
16-month-old, who takes up all my free time.  

And all the while, f-spot
is still unusable. Pointing upstream doesn't help end-users. In cases where
there are long-standing upstream bugs with no resolution in sight, it is
perfectly valid to implement a work-around. Or maybe market f-spot along
the lines of "manage tens of photos at once" :)
