Hello Lutz,

I will try as soon as I can get the cvs from sf.net.
Right now I receive 

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/libexif co -P
libexif 
can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv27653 
Too many links

when trying to get the cvs version.

More info:
With the libexif-0.6.12 and exif-0.6.9, I get this:

exif/exif  /gandac.jpg 
EXIF tags in '/gandac.jpg' ('Intel' byte order):
--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
Tag                 |Value

Maker Note          |1208 bytes unknown data

and
exif/exif --show-mnote /gandac.jpg 
MakerNote contains 20 values:
Settings (first part): Settings (first part)

I will try the cvs version when I'll be able to download it, and send some
more reports.

Thanks,
Paul
