I see this problem on one of my machines also.
I don't at the moment know why tiff files are a problem, but at least
for me it works fine to make a png file instead and then convert it to
tiff later if necessary:
stereo3d < xxx.r3d > xxx.png
convert xxx.png xxx.tiff
Meanwhile, thank you for bringing the tiff failure to my attention.
I'll see if I can track down a fix.
