I am getting the following crash when I try to import a certain image with digikam:

The image was taken with a Nokia phone camera and contains some non-empty
Exif.Photo.MakerNote (type Ascii, size 1088).

I believe that this issue was fixed upstream:
http://dev.exiv2.org/repositories/revision/exiv2/1743
http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/show/615
I applied this change in my local ports tree and it seems to fix the problem.

I also see that Debian folks have included this change into their package of
exiv2. Could we please do the same?

Fix: Please add the following patch obtained from upstream to files/.
How-To-Repeat: Try to import into digikam a suitable image (photo) with non-empty Exif.Photo.MakerNote
that has any type other than 'undefined'.
