Hi Salvatore,
 I have fixed some issues, but as I see, not the root causes. Then
with my fixes I found that the reproducers may crash exiftags later by
other issues.
Contacted upstream if he plans to fix these by himself. Waiting for his reply.

Laszlo/GCS

Hi,

Sounds like a good plan if there is (still) some activity from
upstream. I do not think the isuses are particularly urgent, so take
the time it needs to check with upstream availability.

Salvatore
