Sure thing: libtiff.so.3.4
My RH 6.1+ boxes seem to be unaffected by this, and they have libtiff.so.3.5.

It appears this was an addition to the TIFF 3.5 library. I haven't
upgraded my RH5.2 boxes for various reasons, most of which have nothing to
do with Gimp. Eventually, I'll move to 6.2.

You lost me a little here. Why should I not be creating more TIFFs?
