Thanks for that. It gives a little more detail than tiffdump. I looked 
at a number of files generated from the one original file - the original 
compressed file, an 8-offset uncompressed file, the original file copied 
(which recompresses it?), a compression of the uncompressed 8-offset 
(which is not forced to 8-offset), and a compressed copy forced to 
8-offset. I come up with the following:

The files are identical except for two things - file size, and 
offsets/counts - the second being expected. The strip offsets for the 
valid and invalid compressed files match exactly, as do their 
stripbytecounts (i.e., apart from starting in different places strip 
offsets are no different.). All the file sizes are different though - 
with the invalid being the smallest of the compressed files. Is this a 
path to investigate? I am going to have a closer look at compression but 
this is getting out of my league.

Cheers
Antoine

ps. I might try putting rowsperstrip to a huge value and see what that 
does...
