I am using LIBTIFF from within a DLL to read and write TIFF images on a Windows NT machine. I am finding that after I read a file, I can no longer write to that file, and I also cannot delete it at the OS level until my application has exited.

I became the phenomenon which was the same, too. Such a problem disapeared by changing the option in the call of the function ( TIFFOpen() ) as follows in the case of me.

TIFFOpen( lpfilename, "ru" );

The "u" option indicates the access which doesn't mapped file forcibly. And, When it is written, the "u" option is not necessary.
