I have researched this further, and it turns out that the bug is in libexif -
the exiftran utility uses 1.7g of mem and segfaults when trying to process
these photos (taken with an Olympus E-510 camera), and The GIMP cannot open
them:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1599114&group_id=12272&atid=112272
If I compile libexif 0.6.16 from source and run f-spot with that lib,
the exporting works fine. I suspect this is simply an issue with libexif
0.6.13 not being able to handle the Exif data in the JPEG files created
by this model of camera.
** Changed in: f-spot (Ubuntu)
