Does any one know anything about this bug? And if so is there a fix for it?
I am using LIBTIFF, Version 3.8.2 on Solaris 10 which came packaged with the O/S. Whenever I perform the tiffinfo command on a certain file I get a Bus Error (core dump):- -bash-3.00$ tiffinfo -v /apps/artesia/calvin/30597101.TIF
TIFF Directory at offset 0x8 (8)
Subfile Type: (0 = 0x0)
Image Width: 3219 Image Length: 4340
Resolution: 350, 350 pixels/inch
Bits/Sample: 8
Compression Scheme: None
Photometric Interpretation: RGB color
Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
Samples/Pixel: 3
Rows/Strip: 4340
Planar Configuration: single image plane
Make: Phase One
Model: P 45
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh
DateTime: 2008:02:04 12:05:20
Bus Error (core dumped)
From further research I have discovered that the error is as a result of "unknown field with tag 40961 (0xa001) encountered. `TIFFReadCustomDirectory'". Please let me know if you need any further information. This error is also affecting the Imagemagik application which relies on the LibTiff libraries to identify TIFF files specification.
Thanks in advance for any help.
