I am not positive.  I believe that ron at debian.org expressed concern 
some time ago so the concerns should be archived in the list.

More than likely the issue is due to insertion of a couple more 
members (UaToAa & Bitdepth16To8) toward the end of TIFFRGBAImage in 
tiffio.h which blows any existing access to row_offset & col_offset.
A more careful analysis is necessary to assure there are no other 
issues.
