I'm also unsure why datatype is not BTFW libtiff 3.8.0 has a dreadful bug in that several of these tags are treated like the length value is 16 bit when it should actually be 32 bit. I can't recommend that anyone use libtiff 3.8.0. CVS libtiff has the fix, and libtiff 3.7.4 does not exhibit the symptom.
