Description

Dear Folks, with the file "sm4-336db1cd76254717eb50a8602b651fbf" JHOVE just never comes to any end or finding - neither in my own Java which uses JHOVE as a library nor with the JHOVE GUI. There is no error message, it just keeps going forever. Sorry I cannot provide more information. Best, Yvonne

@friesey do you have a copy of this file for testing please?

The file is now named m4-336db1cd76254717eb50a8602b651fbf.tif in imagetestsuite-tiff-1.00-part4.tar.gz

In last version, it took roughly 30 seconds to process (very long array of more than 6000000 entries!!!) but it ends with:

The file is indeed not well-formed at all :smile:
