Bug Description

jhead is a great tool which I've been using for more than 10 years.

Unfortunately "jhead -cmd" doesn't work as expected/documented any
more and loses all Exif infos.

Example:
 $ jhead 1.jpg
 File name : 1.jpg
 File size : 1379585 bytes
 File date : 2012:08:22 15:12:15
 Camera make : Canon
 Camera model : Canon PowerShot S100
 Date/Time : 2012:08:18 11:49:53
 Resolution : 4000 x 3000
 Flash used : No
 ...

 $ jhead -cmd "jpegtran -progressive &i > &o" 1.jpg
 Cmd:jpegtran -progressive "1.jpg" > "nK8WPo"
 Modified: 1.jpg

 $ jhead 1.jpg
 File name : 1.jpg
 File size : 1293582 bytes
 File date : 2012:08:22 15:14:13
 Resolution : 4000 x 3000
 Jpeg process : Progressive

This is a severe bug because I've lost the exif info on many of my fotos. :-(

Thanks,
 Andy.
