ghostscript-tiff-default-strip-size.patch

With ghostscript-8.71 both efax and hylafax are failing due to the change in the TIFF default strip size.  Adding -dMaxStripSize=0 fixes it but I guess a better fix is to restore the old default (see patch).

Comment 2 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2010-03-15 17:48:03 UTC 
Changing the default strip size to 0 will cause Ghostscript to use large amount of memory when writing large, continuous tone tiff files since libtiff keeps all the data for one strip in memory.  The better solution is to change the default strip size to 1 meg, see Bug 691175.
