ISTR that libtiff used to have static variables, but that was years ago; perhaps it's been cleaned up?

I *believe* the only remainders are the error handling routine addresses. I took the easy way out and declared them _declspec(thread) in VC++ to make the library thread-safe on Win32. I have not encountered any problems with multiple threads handling TIFF files, even two threads handling the same file (as long as it's opened separately by each thread -- you can't share the TIFF* between threads).

Kind regards,
