I used digikam to edit the jpg comment and digikamimageplugins to enhance 
contrast. Thats all I did. I have a lot of other photos I edited in the same 
way and there are no similar problems. I even have a copy of this photo with 
the comment already included on another host and this version does not cause 
a crash (the size in bytes of both is identical). And I am quite sure, that I 
did not change anything else for this photo since I copied it to the other 
host. But  since I had quite a lot of digikam crashes (possibly the 
hyperthreading bug) when I worked on the photos of my holidays (of which 
dsc_3393.jpg is one) I guess that one of this crashes must have corrupted the 
photo in question.  Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this problem, but 
anyway digikam should not crash when trying to extract the metadata of such a 
jpg even if the data contained in it are corrupt.
