F-Spot crashes with large number of pictures

F-Spot installed through synaptic in Dapper with latest updates, on -386 kernel with PIII-600

See attachment with resulting photos.db file

After importing alibrary of 7809 pictures from an USB removable storage device to a fresh f-spot install, when restarting f-spot it crashes with the following output to the console:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
in <0x00157> PhotoStore:Query (System.String query)
in <0x0044a> PhotoStore:Query (.Tag[] tags, .DateRange range)
in <0x00025> FSpot.PhotoQuery:.ctor (.PhotoStore store)
in <0x00779> MainWindow:.ctor (.Db db)
in <0x0002a> FSpot.Core:get_MainWindow ()
in <0x0000c> FSpot.Core:Organize ()
in <0x004d8> FSpot.Driver:Main (System.String[] args)

Steps to reproduce:

- Install f-spot from Synaptic
- Import pictures
- Close f-spot
- Restart f-spot in terminal window
- Applications crashes with output above

Note:
When starting import, all directories with pictures are scaned normally
