It is doubtful that anything related to libtiff memory allocation has 
changed.  However, a great many bugs and security issues have been 
fixed since the version you are looking at.

If this is for a proprietary application, you can always provide a 
private libtiff that your application uses, even under Linux.

Under Windows you can presumably edit libtiff to do whatever you want.
