This does seem like a problem, particularly if the extra bits are 
actually used.  I don't believe that libtiff has been ported to 64-bit 
Windows even though it mostly works ok for 64-bit Unix systems. 
64-bit Windows is strange since 'long' is still 32-bits.

Since this seems like a new area for libtiff, I recommend using the 
4.0.0beta2 preliminary release, or libtiff CVS, so that it is easier 
to formulate and test fixes.  Old releases are never fixed.
