A bit of testing shows that previously the third parameter of TIFFGetField() was of type uint32 when retrieving TIFFTAG_ICCPROFILE, TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP, TIFFTAG_RICHTIFFIPTC, TIFFTAG_XMLPACKET, but in 3.8.0 the size is a uint16. Unfortunately this interface is not fully defined by a header file since it is based on a variable argument list. Libtiff 3.8.0 is *not* binary compatible with previous releases.

The TIFFGetField() documentation does not address these tags.
