This issue disappeared magically in the new version (1.1.1.7_2) so
there is no need for any ticket on the matter.

Still on bugs, am I the only one for whom the JPEG handling is broken
in FLTK?  I am using only one FLTK application (flPhoto), but I had to
replace or eliminate all the code for (a) JPEG generation, and (b)
EXIF data readout.  Otherwise I would get a bus error every time such
a code was being executed.

Any clue where to start from?  I am not sure what libraries and
includes re necessary to do this, and so my attempts always end up
with undefined symbols at link time.

Thanks,
Stefan
