Hello,

 This file http://vs.spiralfx.com/msd2.tif is converted by tiff2pdf into this
 file http://vs.spiralfx.com/msd2.pdf, but the pages in the PDF file are out
 of order.

 It is a small file (5 pages) so it is easy to see that the second page in
 the PDF is not the second page from the TIFF file.

 A little further inspection shows that the pages are the same, but out of
 order.

 I have done some due diligence to see if this issue has been reported
 before; and also I downloaded and compiled the 4.0.0 version, to verify if
 this problem is fixed.

 I have a few questions:

 a) Is this the right place to report such a bug, or should I register and
 use the bugzilla link referenced on the man page?

 b) Is this program being actively maintained at a pace where this could
 expect to be fixed in a day or two (if it's an easy fix), or is the
 development cycle much longer?

 The reason I'm asking is that we are using this tool in a production site,
 so we need a fix quickly. Of course, that is not the development group's
 problem; I'm simply trying to decide if we should wait a bit or try to
 implement a work-around using a different tool.

 Thanks for any help!
