tiff 3.5.4 is now available at
http://www.libtiff.org/tiff-v3.5.4.tar.gz, and
ftp://ftp.onshore.com/pub/libtiff/ 

Most importantly, the bug that was causing segfaults in 3.5.3 has been 
fixed.  My apologies for any inconvenience that was caused. I've also
added Ivo Penzars Adobe ZIP support, and new Pixar tags from Phil
Beffery.  

There's still more patches that have been sent that I haven't yet
added.  I will soon -- thanks for the submissions.  

ChangeLog follows:

        * Aadded Pixar tag support.  Contributed by Phil Beffery <phil@pixar.com> 

        * Made one more change to tif_dir.c for removal of LZW compression. Also added notice 
          when LZW compression invoked. 

        * Changed default compression in tools to TIFF_PACKBITS, and changed usage descriptions
          in tools to reflect removal of LZW compression

        * Fixed bug that caused LZW (non) compression to segfault. Added 
          warning about LZW compression removed being removed, and why. 

        * Added nostrip to install in tools/Makefile.in so that debugging 
          symbols are kept.

        of LZW.
