                 Key: SANSELAN-47
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-47
             Project: Commons Sanselan
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: ubuntu 8.0.4 java 1.6.0_11
            Reporter: Gunduz Can Topal


In case of a corrupt or faulty exif header, we should keep the well formed ones 
instead of propagating an IOException or an OutofMemory Error to the caller. 
Attached is a picture taken from an HTC handset, with a faulty exif thumbnail 
offset, causing an OutOfMemoryException. the patch in SANSELAN-17 turns it into 
an IOException and the good fields are still being lost.

i.e we should have the following data instead of an exception
