I had no idea, but I didn't consider libtiff to be all that likely as Pov 
chokes on extremely common TIFF subformats and even fails to read all of 
libtiff's test suite.

FWIW, the current version of libtiff is 3.5.7.  Quite a number of nasty 
bugs that were in 3.5.5 (such as memory overruns) have been fixed in this 
version.
