When you the "same files", do you mean both the F14 and F5 systems
are looking at the same physical file (perhaps via NFS), or that each
system has its own copy.  If the latter, could it be a disk corruption
problem?

I have posted an example of the affected file at :

www.pomec.net/test.tif

This file is read by the tiff readers on Fedora 5, but fails on Fedora 14.

I have also posted the resolution that came from the libtiff on a
previous post to this list.

Thanks for your response!!!
