I checked the source code (eog version 2.14.3) and there is no call to 
exif_data_get_mnote_data and friends. Only an empty "Maker Note" section 
is added to the view.

I modified the source code to display the makernotes in the view and it 
seems to work for me (read: no crash). Basically, I took the code from 
the exif commandline tool and added it to eog. I would to contribute my 
work, but don't know where and how. I don't have any experience with cvs 
and/or patches, so I'll need some documentation...
