FAXing with spandsp keeps giving me core dumps. Its crap, isn't it?
Actually the crap in this case is probably libtiff. Versions 3.5.7 and 3.6.0 seem reliable. The FAX image handling in version 3.6.1 is broken. All the core dump problems I have investigated turned out to be due to a very old version of libtiff, or version 3.6.1.
I am getting crashes of Asterisk on transmitting faxes (not receiving), and have libtiff-3.6.1-10 installed.
Does anyone here have experience with spandsp's txFax? is libtiff 3.6.0 available somewhere somehow to try it out?
hmmm
Asterisk At Home installs using centos as it's base ... they may have something there concerning libtiff if that is really the issue:

I do use asterisk but not that software.
