Lets work this out and fix it in 3.9. Can you open a ticket > summarizing what you believe to be the ABI issues? Done. See bug 1940. Unfortunately, it seems that changing the size of the _TIFFRGBAImage is a no-no (from an ABI standpoint) since there are several user-visible APIs which depend on its size and layout. Since this is a 3.9.X release, that was likely considered to be ok but apparently libtiff has tried to avoid such practices for past releases.
