Possible strange repeat of EXIF record.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

    im = Photo('image.jpg')
    print 'ImageWidth: ', im.getexif('ImageWidth')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Get an exception that "Tag ImageWidth occurs in multiple records!".
What actually happens is that in metainfofile.py
    def __getRecordAndTagNum__(self, tag, record = None):
cycles through the EXIF records looking for the tag.
For some reason, record 1 (tiff) and tag 6 (ifd1) both use
the TIFFIFD class, meaning ImageWidth is repeated.

The chances are I'm confused by the exif.py code in
    def getRecord(self, rec_num):
but it still seems strange.

I realize that I could just do a:
    im.getexif('ImageWidth', 'tiff')

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

alpha 2 on vista.
