I've done some exploration on my system :) The 3.14 was probably pulled in when I was playing with OGRE a while back.
https://launchpad.net/~ogre-team/+archive/ogre/+packages
shows dependency on the 3.14 version.
The bit in the file causes the crash is when the the tiff file contains gamma correction, i.e. has the TRANSFER_FUNCTION tag. The implementation for that in libfreeimage is not correct. I've created a fix for it, but the documentation for it is a bit ambiguous. Do you know program was used to create those tiff files?
Opening and saving the tiff file in GIMP actually removes this tag.

Did you install a newer version of freeimage yourself? Lucid has 3.10.0 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/lucid/libfreeimage3) and even Maverick only has 3.13 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/maverick/libfreeimage3). If it's something others are likely to run into we should consider re-saving and re-releasing any of the tifs we use that are problematic.Josh
