Hi all,

Think I found a very stupid mistake in the file tif_msdos.c of libtiff 
v3.8.2, line 114 :

	return (TIFFFdOpen(fd, name, mode));

Which leave its descriptior "fd" opened if trying to open a file that 
is not a TIFF. Fix is obvious :

	TIFF * ret = TIFFFdOpen(fd, name, mode);

	if (ret == NULL) close(fd);

	return ret;
