Hi Gilles,

this problem drives me crazy.  My svn stable build does not show the problem.
I've added the patch to 0.8.2-beta2 debs and the problem was still there.
I've created a svn snapshot tarball, build the a new deb with it problem
was there too :(

wild guess: Does an svn build use exgragear/libs/libkexif during build?

Rest of the week I'll be at linuxtag. I'll try to find some time in train
or hotel to look into once more.

Achim
