It looked to me (back then, I'm in other matters now) the bug was because the
Cinelerra build system did not disable tiff, as it was supposed to.

But, as far as I go, I can only let this matter rest, I'm looking up this ML to
prepare for other issues, actually one suggestion and maybe something more.
But thanks for the insight.

Great! (and some more feedback is coming your way next)
