I can't see any easy workaround other than, obviously, not using LZW compression.
However, the problem seems to have been fixed in libtiff 4.0.5. Now there's also 4.0.6, which I haven't tried: http://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/ You need to build and install the new version and make sure GIMP (or whatever software you're using) sees it instead of the buggy 4.0.3. Now LZW seems to work. -- jussi.hukka...@gmail.com What if this weren't a hypothetical question?
