I thought something like that was the problem. Thanks for helping me
find where to look. But there is still one thing I don't understand.
The problem doesn't happen with all tiff files, just with those created
by vuescan from a film scan. It doesn't have for example with a tiff
file created from a flatbed scan. So ufraw is somehow identifying
these tiff files as coming from a caera, which indirectly is true.
