That isn't what I meant. libtiff is really flaky when you give it a bad 
tiff file. It used to core dump on almost any fault. I fed updates back 
to the libtiff guys a few years ago, which I think went in. Others must 
have contributed most robustness too. It isn't as bad as it used to be, 
but I have TIFF files here which make 3.6.0 dump core. This is, of 
course, a rather nasty thing to have happen in a homogenous 
multi-threaded setup like *.
