I investigated this briefly and saw that the crash was happening when a
std:iterator was being dereferenced via its -> operator to retrieve the
Exifdatum struct it was pointing to.  The segfault was not in accessing
the struct once it was extracted, but rather while pulling it from the
iterator via the -> operator.  (It appeared to be happening inside the
Exifdatum's copy constructor; gdb's debug symbols were inconsistent on
this point.)

I hesitate to point the finger at Exiv2 because it's quite possible I'm
doing something wrong inside gexiv2, but I have now included that
package in this ticket because the bug is in the interaction between
gexiv2 and it.
