The codec works on all test images I've seen (obviously). If you've got a
problem you can either provide a sample image where there is a problem and
wait for someone to look into why the image cannot be decoded or you can
dive into the code yourself. I'd suspect the image given the age and heavy
testing the existing codecs have had.

Problem in the test image.

Post diffs or send them to me. I'm far too busy to do anything right now
but collect stuff but I _do_ look at everything I receive before I make new
distributions (or at least I try to).

Please send/post a fix.

This has been discussed previously on this list but unfortunately there is
no active archive of the past postings. The short answer is no. I'll leave
it to Tom Lane to post the usual boilerplate long answer.

As far as I know this mailing list is the best place to find help on
TIFF-related issues.
