It works now.  The reason it didn't is that the makefile needs a tad of 
tweeking (delete all mention of the tif_unix.o, after following the 
instructions in the contrib directory of the Leffler TIFF distribution) and 
then it runs flawlessly!

Otherwise, the standard unix file reading function calls were used, which 
caused the error and the seg fault.

Thanks for the in depth reply,

P.S.  Any particular reason my program might run differently under gdb 
than when simply executed by the DOS shell besides me not clearing stack 
space properly before using it?
