2009.03.18 00:18 "The tag 40961: `TIFFReadCustomDirectory' cause Bus Error (core dumped) on Solaris 10 system.", by Donovan Williams

Does any one know anything about this bug? And if so is there a fix for it?
 
I am using LIBTIFF, Version 3.8.2 on Solaris 10 which came packaged with the O/S. 
Whenever I perform the tiffinfo command on a certain file I get a Bus Error (core dump):- 
-bash-3.00$ tiffinfo -v /apps/artesia/calvin/30597101.TIF 
TIFF Directory at offset 0x8 (8)
  Subfile Type: (0 = 0x0)
  Image Width: 3219 Image Length: 4340
  Resolution: 350, 350 pixels/inch
  Bits/Sample: 8
  Compression Scheme: None
  Photometric Interpretation: RGB color
  Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
  Samples/Pixel: 3
  Rows/Strip: 4340
  Planar Configuration: single image plane
  Make: Phase One
  Model: P 45
  Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh
  DateTime: 2008:02:04 12:05:20
Bus Error (core dumped)
From further research I have discovered that the error is as a result of 
"unknown field with tag 40961 (0xa001) encountered. `TIFFReadCustomDirectory'".
Please let me know if you need any further information. This error is also 
affecting the Imagemagik application which relies on the LibTiff libraries to identify 
TIFF files specification.
 
Thanks in advance for any help.
