tiff height/width swap?



(Please Cc: me in any replies; I'm not presently subscribed to the list.)

I'm running 4.0pl2 on a FreeBSD-2.2.6-STABLE box.  At the moment, the fax 
modem I'm using is a Cardinal 33.6 voice/fax/data modem, probably with a 
56k flash upgrade (I forget - I have too many modems here).

Incoming faxes seem to have the height and width "swapped".  At least, xv 
tries to display faxes in landscape orientation instead of in portrait 
orientation, and it's clear that these faxes were sent "normally".

Suggestions on what I can do to solve this problem (on my end) would be 
most helpful.  I'm hoping to find a solution that is transparent, as 
opposed to having to incant:

	xv -geometry 1070x1728 foo.tiff

every time I want to view a fax, or my other solution (convert to .ps and 
then back to .tif).

Here's the results of tiffinfo on an "old" fax (HylaFAX 3.X):
