Hello,

 I used TiffOpenW() API to open a Tiff file containing ASCII characters (non-ASCII is anyway failing) in read mode. TiffOpenW() crashes. I verified Tiff File is proper (other applications able to open it)

 I have access permission for this file. I used _wopen() to verify and this function succeeds. I am using LibTiff version 3.9.2. I cannot use TiffOpen() since eventually I have to provide Unicode support. Please help me understand so as to why TiffOpenW() is failing (throws exception)

 Thanks
