I have linked a branch with some memory safety fixes. Since I can't reproduce this on non-broken images would it be possible for you to try it?

If the new version still crashes for you, could you do the following:

- check out the branch and build it in debug mode
- then in your build dir do "tools/cachetool /path/to/image"

If the latter crashes, please post the full backtrace.

This is by design and will remain so. Thumbnailer only extracts the thumbnail from the source image once and caches it in the file specified. This behaviour is identical across all thumbnail generator backends.
