A bit of testing shows that previously the third parameter of 
TIFFGetField() was of type uint32 when retrieving TIFFTAG_ICCPROFILE, 
TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP, TIFFTAG_RICHTIFFIPTC, TIFFTAG_XMLPACKET, but in 
3.8.0 the size is a uint16.  Unfortunately this interface is not fully 
defined by a header file since it is based on a variable argument 
list.  Libtiff 3.8.0 is *not* binary compatible with previous 
releases.

The TIFFGetField() documentation does not address these tags.
