I think this should be fixed before libtiff 4. Is anyone interested in making a release blocker bug in bugzilla? We could add this bug to it. Also, I wonder why the tif_win32.c file isn't enabled by default on Windows. With tif_unix.c, the file interface is limited to 2GB on Windows. tif_win32.c is needed for large file access (the whole point of libtiff 4?). Adam [1]: http://coapp.org/
