This bug is related to http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2514.

It's possible in Exiv2 to have an empty metadata tag.  If it's accessed
for its value, the library segfaults.  The fix for the ticket I just
mentioned was a quick patch for the reporter's specific problem and not
a general solution.

Last night I committed a patch to our repository that implements a
general solution (which is ticket http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2551).
If you want to try it, check it out and build and install it:

svn co svn://svn.yorba.org/gexiv2/trunk gexiv2

If not, the fix should be released in gexiv2 0.3.0.
