LibTiff Mailing List

I have just had occasion to run Purify 2 on my code, which is linked
with the TIFF 3.3beta002 library (libtiff.a) on a Sun running SunOS 4.1.3_U1
(Solaris 1.1.1).  Rather nicely, it exposed the problem I had introduced
into my own code.  But it also exposed some problems with the TIFF library,
as shown below.  Having this happen to your own freshly-minted code makes
you a True Believer, and I would now strongly suggest you find some means to
apply Purify to the TIFF library!

Anyway, here are the error messages relevant to the TIFF library.  Use them
as you will to debug the code.  The two basic problems are accessing just
outside a malloc()ed block, and various memory leaks.  Perhaps if you fix
these problems, you could drop me a note, because I'm not plugged into the
TIFF mailing list.
