Importing non-geotagged jpg photo causes an Unexpected Exception

[cam_daw@…]

JOSM version: josm-latest 4508

How to re-create:

Using Arch Linux, load up a gpx track, then load the attached photo (garmin_calibrate.jpg)
It then crashes bringing up a dialogue box (josm_crash.png)

Output from josm console:

Other info:-

System Hardware: Core i7 975, 16GB RAM, nvidia GTX 275, Acer Monitor 2048x1152, OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD
System Software: Arch Linux x86_64 (last updated today, 9 October 2011), Linux Kernel 3.0.6-2, xorg-server 1.10.4-1, Gnome 3.2, openjdk6 6.b22_1.10.3-1, nvidia 280.13, btrfs filesystem used everywhere except /boot (which is ext2)

Notes:

• This bug does not exist in Ubuntu 11.04 (x86_64)
• This bug also effects 32bit Arch Linux on an atom netbook
• Opening up geo-tagged photos works without problems
• It crashes even when after default josm installed (I've cleared out ~/.josm and it still crashes the same way)
