Gary,
  
TIFFOpen(filename, "ru");
  
The 'u' will prevent libtiff from mapping the original file into the
process's address space, and it will use regular I/O instead.
  
The handle I found leaking on ME was one of the file mapping handles (in
tif_win32.c, IIRC). Libtiff was closing all handles appropriately; the bug
was due to something within ME. I haven't seen the same problem on XP, and
I personally haven't had any reports of problems opening networked TIF
files from other applications.
  
Note: I'm using libtiff version 3.5.6, and not 3.6.0, so it's possible
there is some other change.
  
Kind regards,
Phillip
