One last thing I saw: for the last directory it can successfully read (but
not the ones before), I get the following warnings from TIFFReadDirectory:
TIFFFetchNormalTag: Warning, ASCII value for tag "ImageDescription" contains null byte in value; value incorrectly truncated during reading due to implementation limitations.
TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, Wrong "StripByteCounts" field, ignoring and calculating from imagelength.

the 2Gb limit, as I always get the error for the first frame going over it. I'll try to check how the software producing those tiff writes them, it's probably the

In addition to whatever software you are using to drive libtiff, it is possible that Ubuntu-provided libtiff includes patches/changes (usually due to security concerns) which causes it to differ from the original libtiff release.
I was easily able to write TIFF files larger than 2GB, and BigTIFF files of 24GB under Ubuntu using GraphicsMagick, but I am using latest
CVS libtiff and not the library provided by Ubuntu. It is also not clear if the libtiff function calls are similar to your situation.
