I'm using Libtiff34b037.

I don't know if you can use them in lisp or not, but I'm attaching my compiled libtiff.dll and libtiff.lib files if you want to see if it fixes your problem.

Great! that fixed it!

For your information, all that was needed was to do this in the (still running) lisp system:

(loadfile "libtiff.dll")

and then re-execute the mapping between my lisp functions and the library, e.g. loading in a file that has this in it

(defforeign 'tiffclose :entry-point
   "TIFFClose"
  :arguments '(integer)
  :return-type :integer)

The server stayed up throughout the operation. No local anesthesia even.
