I just notified the exiv2 author Andreas Huggel of this problem. Maybe
he can provide a bugfix that does not add new functionality. Of course
we can't demand that, if there already is a version without the problem
- the distributors have to take care of the situation.

By the way: for me the limitations due to the buggy exiv2 0.18 are
marginal, since only the 10 or so pictures taken with a specific camera
(which was a friend's model, not mine) cause the program to crash. So I
just moved them out of the digikam folder. Of course the situation looks
different for anyone who owns such a digital camera.

Still this regression is unfortunate: digikam (and exiv2) in Ubuntu
08.10 had no problems with the very same pictures.
