Lee, I have reviewed both bugs, and I don't see that either relates to a regression from earlier versions of libtiff. Also, neither relates to an ABI issue that ought to be dealt with now as it would be hard to change later. As such, it is hard for me to construe these as release critical. As they are in fairly fragile code I'm not terribly comfortable they can be applied without significant risk. I'm also deathly afraid of the jpeg code. :-) Perhaps another developer would like to incorporate them and take responsibility?
