Description:
------------
Pretty simple, the EXIF library must not like something about this image.

Image was fine before I added a comment via Properties in WinXP. There is a very decent chance that our good buddies at MS screwed something up. Since there is no file upload here, just download the file from this location:

http://software.thepalls.com/IMG_1564.jpg




Reproduce code:
---------------
$exif = exif_read_data($filename, 'IFD0');

Expected result:
----------------
Exif data returned to function.

Actual result:
--------------
I could probably generate a stack trace, but I'll bet you can regenerate it anyway. It's a crash, one of those general protection/access violation type kabooms! It is not.

p.s., when I tried to duplicate this using local files, php just crashes whenever using the exif library, but it seems to work just fine when running under apache (other than this particular image)

That image can be read just fine with PHP. Maybe you sent the wrong one because it does not contain any tags inserted by Windows XP. Check again and maybe send me a picture directly or your stack trace since even valgrind doesn't show any problems here.
