I am not so sure its (2). Even if it is a libexif crash, you would see
the same thing in the beginning of the index-helper log file. If you
can track down the previous index-helper log file (using last modified
timestamp), check the end of that file and look for the last line
saying "<timestamp...> IndexH DEBUG: +file:///..." or "<timestamp...>
IndexH DEBUG: -file:///..." - if the file is jpeg then its most
probably the libexif problem.
