Udo,

If the bug do not disapear, please give me a sample picture from your camera. 
In fact the crash is relevant of comments extraction at digiKam startup.

Comments are embeded to JPEG pictures by camera like exif comments, Makernote 
comments, IPTC caption, or JFIF comments. digiKam try to extract this string 
and put it to database to improve speedup searching from gui.

The comments are encoding from camera is the hell, especially with JFIF 
comments section from JPEG. Nothing is very clear about the language encoding 
(if all use UTF8, all will be simple (:=))))

In the past, before 0.9.0-beta1, we have already found some picture witch 
crash digiKam exactly like you have on your computer (Nikon and Minolta if i 
remember).

In digiKam, the part witch try to find the right encoding format can be 
uncomplete and can crash...

Try to find the picture releavant of your problem and send me it by private 
mail (not ML).

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Gilles
