Please review at your convenience. Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8148454 Patch: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8148454/webrev.00/
Problem was that the superclass ‘output’ variable was being incorrectly reset to null. The TIFF writer mostly uses its internal ‘stream’ variable for the ImageOutputStream but the test exposed a case which referred to the superclass ‘output’ variable. The @ignore tag has been removed from the mentioned test. Thanks, Brian
