Cannot import tiff with deflate compression

Can you attach a sample TIFF file that fails to import?

Saved as TIFF with Deflate compression in the GIMP 2.6.8

not reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 and 0.47+devel r9587 on OS X 10.5.8

- In both Inkscape versions the TIFF file imports without errors.
- GIMP on OS X 2.6.8 also opens the file without problems.
- Apple's default image viewer (Preview.app, Version 4.2 (469.5)) however fails with the error message "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."

@JazzyNico - can you test on linux? Possibly a problem affecting 'inkscape-devlibs' for the win32 port?

I've reproduced this bug ('failed to load the requested file') the first time I've imported (embedded) the file on Ubuntu, Inkscape r9582, but now I can't reproduce it, even after restarting Inkscape!
I'll try again on Windows XP tomorrow.

When embedding the TIFF file (r9587), and realigning it after changing the page size, I get the same console warnings as in bug #597689:

** (inkscape-bin:61531): WARNING **: GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 15503360):
 May lead to memory leak and poor performance.

** (inkscape-bin:61531): WARNING **: GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 15503360):
 May lead to memory leak and poor performance.

Confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape 9535, but not reproduced with 0.47.

I still can't reproduce it on Ubuntu. I guess the file was not completely downloaded when I first tried to import it.

Reproduced again on Windows XP, Inkscape trunk revision 13279, official devlibs.
Not reproduced with the experimental GTK3 devlibs, same OS and Inkscape version.

on Windows XP, Inkscape trunk revision 13245, official devlibs, I get the console messages.

(inkscape.exe:3984): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Couldn't load bitmap
GdkPixbuf loader failed

New tests with recent libtiff libraries (tested with 3.9.7 and 4.0.6) still don't work on Windows XP (32bit). Very likely a GdkPixbuf loader issue...

And probably a duplicate of (or strongly related to) Bug #1153777 "Import cmyk-tiff crashes".

Bad new, we already have the most recent gdk-pixbuf version that is compatible with our glib package, and thus there's nothing we can do for now except recompiling almost the whole devlibs.
