#57 exif_data_save_data consuming all memory

[mike morrison]

exif_data_save_data consumes all my memory when I call it on the attached image.

- i could not attach the image because it was too large (280 kb). i can send it in an email, just let me know who to send it to.

I am unable to reproduce this on libexif 0.6.16. Can you reproduce it using the exif tool?

[Dan Fandrich]

I can't reproduce this on 0.6.14 or 0.6.17 using the command:

exif --ifd=0 --tag=0x10f --set-value='foo' --output=foo.jpg badexif.jpg

or the test program:

int main(void)
{
ExifData *ed = exif_data_new_from_file("badexif.jpg");
unsigned char* buf;
unsigned int siz;
exif_data_save_data(ed, &buf, &siz);
exif_data_unref(ed);
}

Assuming it has been fixed since this bug was raised.
