There are several places where comments can be added to a jpeg file. Different 
softwares use different places - e.g. exif, jfif, iptc, xmp (bla bla bla - I 
am not expert in this, so there could be more). Hence beagle extracts all the 
possible places. To allow keyword searches like "comment:foo", beagle adds 
all the comments to a single comment field "fixme:comment".

Fixed in r3339 http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/beagle?rev=3339&view=rev
Thanks Stephan.

I do not know if delta patches (xdelta) would work with mono dlls. If they 
work, then I can host the delta file for these changes. ... On second 
thoughts, even if they did, the change happens in Util.dll, which 
unfortunately contains a lot of system specific paths and information; that 
will make patching difficult or impossible.
