Hi Sean,

Again thank you for the clairification.  So, some background. I am 
trying to get this to work on both windows (via Enthought's Python 
Distribution and on Ubuntu 9.04). I get the same results on both machines.

So, on the Ubuntu box, I installed libtiff4 package and recompiled 
VTK-5.4 with VTK_USE_SYSTEM_TIFF set to ON. Either, I it is still using 
the old libtiff or something else is wrong because I still get the same 
result from my function.

If the problem is with libtiff why would things work with VTK-5.04 and 
break in v5.4?

Do you have any thoughts on how to proceed.
