I've compiled 0.9.0 rc1 from hand now (as opposed to using the ebuild) and added debug as well. I've applied your patch.

For the first test, I am running digikam in a directory with about 1700 images. Adding them in small steps works fine, there are no error messages regarding makernotes and no warnings/errors from sqlite on the console. Adding them all at once (i.e. removing digikam3.db and running digikam which will scan the directory) will reliably cause a crash with the unmodified 0.9.0 rc1 tarball.

When running the patched version on the same images, there is no crash.

Next, I copied all my images (6000 images, 8 GB) into digikam's directory, removed digicam3.db and started digikam. It took some time to scan, but there were neither sqlite warnings or errors about malformed disk images, and there is also no crash.

As far as I can tell, the patch solved the problem. Let me know if you want me to run further tests, but so far I am quite happy :-)
