This seems to only affect tiffcrop and tiffsplit in a few places so maybe we could fix the code too? Some cases in tiffsplit appear useless anyway (strncpy in a buffer which was dynamically allocated to be large enough to contain the string). If have nothing against the new functions though. Whatever requires the least amount of work and is safest gets my vote :] Olivier
