1999.09.30 15:01 "Bug: tiffinfo -D segfaults", by Chris Hanson

I'm using tiffinfo -D on Mac OS X Server 1.0.2 to check the validity of some files. (If there's a better tool for this, please point it out, as I'm new to libtiff.)

On some files that may be invalid, tiffinfo -D will segfault rather than exit with an error. All files are Group 4 compressed, 66496x53666 pixels, 256 pixels/strip. (Sorry, I can't share the files.) I just did a checkout and build from CVS this morning, so I'm using the very latest libtiff sources.

Files I know to be valid seem to come through fine.
