[Discuss] Gimp - Metadata parasite?



I recently upgraded gimp to v2.8, and when I run it from a terminal
window, I see an odd
error message periodically that I've never noticed before:

    Metadata parasite seems to be corrupt

When I try to google it, I see a lot of developer threads that suggest
it's something
fairly routine, but I can't seem to find anything that defines the term.

Can anyone shed some light on what a "metadata parasite" is supposed to be?
