Chris,

Yikes, thats kind of scary.  Are you saying it does this to the buffer
that is passed to stuff like TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(), TIFFWriteEncodedTile()
and TIFFWriteScanline()?  If so, perhaps some documentation should be added
to the documentation indicating that this can occur in some situations.
Which type of compression is this?  PIXAR?

Best regards,
