I'm guessing he was a casual tiff-lib user, exactly the kind of person who wouldn't know that he ought to disable memory-mapped I/O to avoid problems. His code had a strange realloc() call in the main loop, but it would be a logical no-op since he realloc()s the same memory size every time. --------------------------+----------------------+-------------------------- Dr. Craig S.
