Just try the following code:

  #include <stdio.h>
#include <tiffio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int i;

        for (i = 10; i > 0; i --)
        {
                printf("Starting in %d ...\r", i); fflush(stdout);
                sleep(1);
        }

        for (i = 0; i < 10000; i ++)
        {
                TIFF * in = TIFFOpen("cyan.tif", "r");
                if (in) TIFFClose(in);
        }
        sleep(20);
        return 0;
}

I think someone else brought this up a few weeks ago. I guessed the problem was somewhere in the TIFFClose chain of processing, as that's what should be freeing the memory. You might want to trace through it to see if it ever really reaches a point where memory is freed.
