Every time libtiff advances a step HylaFAX has to react to it.  So, in 
the meantime there will be a libtiff version with which HylaFAX doesn't 
work.  However, I don't know that to be the case with HylaFAX+ 5.5.8 or 
HylaFAX.org 6.0.6.  That said, I haven't used .org's releases since 
v4.2.5... so I don't really know.

Yes, that assert message is coming from libtiff.  So, it would seem to 
be a bug in libtiff... or possibly in how HylaFAX is using libtiff.

I would still recommend trying HylaFAX+.  If that fails then consider 
stepping-back through libtiff versions (you'll have to rebuild+reinstall 
HylaFAX after each) to see if the problem was introduced into libtiff 
relatively recently (like, since the v4.0 release... so step-back to the 
last v3).

Thanks,

Lee.
