First analysis: the image has a faulty APP1 EXIF segment. This is also what exiftool says: ... Warning : Malformed APP1 EXIF segment ... A possible fix could be https://github.com/eserte/image-info/commit/4933d26818d19055b0f9ec5f44d700788e12f877 which would turn the fatal error into a "Warn" field.
