Hello,

I found out what the problem was: the buffer size I gave in input of the WriteOK was larger than the actual size of the buffer.

What I don't understand is how libtiff does to not crash, but only sometimes return an error (-1), and sometimes, writing the data of the buffer anyway. Do you have any explanation?

Thank you for your help and regards,

I actually noticed that I never get any problem with the SeekOK, but only with writeOK.

I sometimes returns -1 although he wrote everything I wanted to, and sometimes returns -1 and doesn't write anything but I have no clue why on some occasions he doesn't write...

One approach is to call 'lseek(fd,SEEK_CUR)' and verify that the
return value is the expected offset.
