GraphicsMagick uses this code to obtain TIFFTAG_DATETIME:

   TIFFGetField(tiff,TIFFTAG_DATETIME,&text)

The TIFFGetField() documentation says that it returns one argument for TIFFTAG_DATETIME.

Is this correct?

Yes, it should work in that way (as of current CVS). Any troubles with that?

A GraphicsMagick user was complaining that sometimes there was a crash after this tag was read. This is when using libtiff 3.7.3. 64-bit Solaris 10 SPARC was mentioned, but I think the user reported failures on a different system as well.
