It seems you don't follow the tiff mailing list, Gert.  A bug was
discovered there recently which is present in viewfax and which I
could not explain away (it is in the error recovery after a coding
error).

If Michael can send me more details (e.g. compile with -g and send me
gdb's stack trace) I will have a go at rationalising his problem.
