I've done some exploration on my system :)   The 3.14 was probably pulled in when I was playing with OGRE a while back.

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.
