Gilles: I recompiled exiv2, digikam 0.9.0 RC1 and the plugins from scratch, so this was a clean install (Gentoo ebuilds). Still crashes, but read on.

Andreas:
 - I am running on 32bit. 
 - I don't see a problem with exiv2 -pt * */* */*/* (my images are not all in the same directory), at least it does not end with a crash (I didn't really have the time to read through all the stdout (40MB), though). On stderr I didn't see anything related to a crash.
 - The crash is not related to specific images, at least the crash does not happen with the same images or even directories each time. In fact, I am now making progress in adding my images to digikam by copying one folder at a time (i.e. 10-50 images) and having digikam rescan them. I suspect that some images cause digikam to mess up something which manifests itself in a crash at a later time. I.e. I copied 8 directories with a total of 460 images into digikam's directory and digikam crashed when scanning them. When I copied+rescanned each directory individually, digikam did not crash.
 - The images are 99% from Canon Ixus (II and 400, I think)

The makernotes are a bit messed up, as I am switching from iPhoto (MacOS X) and when modifying the images in iPhoto the offsets become incorrect. I did add comments and keywords to most images using exiftool, but at the moment exiftool does not fix the offset (there should be an update soon). 

The filenames and folders do not contain non-ascii characters (anymore).
