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.
