[hylafax-users] Could not reopen converted document to verify format




I recently upgraded gs and several libraries on an i686-linux-gnu box
and managed to break hylafax.  I get the message in the subject line
when I submit a postscript document to be faxed (I use tkhylafax as an
interface).  Grepping the source code shows that this is caused by a
failure in TIFFopen. 

I'd posted this before as a bug report and someone replied suggesting
that the problem was with me not using the most recent version of
libtiff; however, after upgrading to 3.5.5, making sure that all old
versions of the library and include files were deleted, and rebuilding
and installing hylafax from scratch using the CVS sources, the problem
didn't go away.  At least, it didn't while I was testing as a regular
user.  When I tried the test as root, things worked; clearly there is
a file/directory permission issue here (although, hfaxd is 4755).
Here's how the spool/fax directory is set up.

bash-2.04# ls -l /var/spool/fax
