Saving tiff files works without problem on my CVS version of cinepaint.

You may want to try compiling again with the option "--enable-debug."
In conjunction with gdb, this may provide more information such as
contents of variables and memory locations at the time of crash.

Also, if you need tiff format, a work around is possible until things
get straightened out.  Just save the file as PNM format. PNM accepts
16-bit data.  Then convert to TIFF manually with "convert"  from
ImageMagick (or GraphicsMagick) or "pnmtotiff" from NetPBM.
