oh?
that's an unpleasant thing to learn.
are there any plans to make it thread safe?
There was some discussion on the list (initiated by Joris I think) regarding proposed improvements to the error reporting APIs to make them easier to use with threads.
It seems that libtiff is currently thread-agnostic. It doesn't do anything special to support threads, however, it is not a disaster either since its implementation is mostly re-entrant.
In some target environments, libtiff should be specially compiled to ensure that its use of C library APIs (and global errno) is thread safe. I don't believe that this special compilation support exists yet.
