It would be nice if libtiff would run clean with 'valgrind'.  While I 
am not aware of any memory leaks, it seems that TIFF directories are 
accessed/written which contain uninitialized data and this causes 
'valgrind' to complain about use of uninitialized data.  The 
workaround may be as simple as doing a 'memset' on directory 
structures immediately after they are allocated.
