It's very unlikely that breakage like that goes unnoticed for a longer time.

So there is a bug in ImageMagick or one of the libraries it uses. I don't say that the tiff is correct, but the viewer shouldn't crash anyway. Ok, some tests: scanimage -d test --format tiff >image.tiff no problem with gimp, qiv and display xsane test no problem with gimp, qiv and display Please try the above tests and also view the tiffs with other viewers.
