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;
