[hylafax-users] Beta 2 and libtiff problem (assertion failed on incoming fax G3 format)




Hi all,

I've not been keeping up in the mailing list and with the latest developments but it seems there have been a lot of libtiff issues (the warnings return code issue and the 3.6.1 issue). I think I 've just encountered another one.

I'm working on installing an emergency replacement fax server (our main server with an older version of hylafax has some serious hardware faults popping up) on a gentoo linux system but I'm having problems receiving faxes which are send from a windows machine. Apparently it encodes it in fax G3 tiff and it causes an assertion to fail during faxgetty in libtiff. It occurs in libtiff/tif_fax3.c arround line 411 (give or take a few depending on the version of libtiff you are using).

I've tried with libtiff 3.5.7 / 3.6.0 and 3.6.1. Version 3.5.5 does not seem to build correctly on the gentoo system and there is a serious warning inside the hylafax ebuild about not using 3.5.5 so I guess that's out.

It seems the issue does not exist with hylafax 4.1.8 but I really like to use 4.2.0 beta 2 (or higher) for the notification with attachment without having to hack all the scripts again like I had to to with the previous install.

Does anyone know of this problem and has a workarround for it, or has it been fixed in the latest cvs ?
