Re: faxgetty exited on signal 6

Thank you, Mr. Howard.

The assertion that failed when running faxgetty interactively is

Assertion failed: (x == lastx), function _TIFFFax3fillruns, file
tif_fax3.c, line 452.
Abort

Now that was completely different then where I thought the abort would
occur. This would lead me to think that the problem may lay in the
version of libtiff that is installed. The version I have installed is
4.04. I vaguely remember seeing some previous posts where HylaFax was
not compatible with some versions of libtiff. Did I read that
correctly? Does HylaFax+ have this same incompatibility?

Thanks again,
Ryan
