Thanks so much for quickly diagnosing!
Sounds good. It had not cropped up as a real-world problem, only got spotted because my software has a testsuite that tries reading every image from the libtiff sample images. I'll just disable that one test for now, until the next libtiff release.

Has anybody noticed that with the last minor release or two, when reading the libtiff example image quad-lzw.tif, there are read errors like this:
Not enough data at scanline 0 (short 1536 bytes)
It's not just my software -- trying to 'tiffcp' the file results in:
LZWPreDecode: Warning, Old-style LZW codes, convert file.
LZWDecodeCompat: Warning, LZWDecode: Strip 0 not terminated with EOI code.
LZWDecodeCompat: Not enough data at scanline 0 (short 7680 bytes).
libtiffpic/quad-lzw.tif: Error, can't read strip 0.It's on MacOS that I noticed this. Haven't tested other platforms yet.
Does this ring any bells? Anybody have any insight?
OK, after investigation I've identified this as a 4.0.8 regression regarding old-style LZW decompression. I've just fixed it in CVS with the following patch (that should apply on top of 4.0.8)
$ cvs diff -u -r1.55 -r1.56 libtiff/tif_lzw.c

}}}I've added a test case for this.
But also, thinking that maybe I have a wildly old example file ("old-style", as it said),
Yes, specific to that case. Regular LZW decompression works OK.
I tried to re-download the collection of example images from

But the link fails. Maybe during the recent web site fiasco, this got lost in the shuffle?
The links works for me. Perhaps a temporary server overload?
Otherwsie there's also access through http:
