Not sure if it's the same problem, but Riccardo Mottola had a similar
problem on (I think) solaris. It turned out that gcc was miscompiling
NSBitmapImageRep.m or NSBitmapImageRep+JPEG.m and caused the jpeg check
to return true for all images (and the load would later fail since the
tiff was not a jpeg). I'll see if I can get some more details on this.
As a workaround, you could try compiling those files without
optimizations (eg. by hacking config.make to remove -O2, touching those
files, and doing a 'make install' in gui/Source).
