Kevin,
   The version of tiffcrop that was distributed with libtiff-3.8.2 is 
very old indeed.  If you type tiffcrop -v, the current release should show:
 tiffcrop -v
Tiffcrop version: 2.0, last updated: 02-12-2009.
Tiffcp code: Copyright (c) 1988-1997 Sam Leffler.
           : Copyright (c) 1991-1997 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
Tiffcrop additions: Copyright (c) 2007-2009 Richard Nolde.

Please download the current code from CVS for 3.9 or 4.0 if you need 
BIGTIFF support. I don't have a build of the old release around any 
more, but I am fairly certain that your command line should work unless 
there are issues with the original TIFF files.  I had to put a patch 
into the original code that handled the case where no resolution unit is 
specified and may be the issue. If you send me the results of running 
tiffinfo on the file it might help.

   If you cannot download the current source from CVS, please let me 
know and I can send it to your directly. I don't have a Windows build of 
libtiff as I work on Linux and AIX, but I could try to cross compile a 
tiffcrop executable at some point.  Lacking any access to or need for 
Microsoft tools, I doubt that it would match the distributed version.
