The SunPro C 3.0 compiler, under strict checking options, emits the following warnings:

acc -Xc -vc -fast -native  -I.   -c  tif_open.c
"tif_open.c", line 35: warning: constant promoted to unsigned long
"tif_open.c", line 35: warning: initializer does not fit: 0xffffffff

"tif_open.c", line 44: warning: initializer does not fit: 0xffffffff
"tif_open.c", line 45: warning: constant promoted to unsigned long
"tif_open.c", line 45: warning: initializer does not fit: 0xffffffff

The warnings are generated to indicate that an unsigned value with the high bit set cannot be truly represented as a signed value. These messages may be eliminated by converting the tif_typemask member of a struct tiff to an unsigned value as it is actually used, with the changes noted below to the tiffiop.h and tif_open.c files.
