OK, I've been fooling with this file, and I think it's the problem with
the file compression that GIMP complained about ("Depreciated and
troublesome old-style JPEG compression mode"). I can import it into GIMP
and save each page as a JPG, after I wait until all the error messages
are done complaining. Then the pages are in good shape.  {BTW I have
only 1 GB of memory, and when I imported all 33 pages as separate images
in Gimp, it filled the memory plus most of my swap but never crashed.}

I tried it in Windoze XP on a different machine, and image viewer
programs just bomb out, like Format Factory, which has never crashed on
me before. Gimp for Windoze can import and save it.

So this file must be a real turkey. It was written before December 2008
so it predates Windows 7. It was cobbled together from several different
Word documents.

Unfortunately I can't send the whole file because it's a proprietary
proposal, and it's a lot of megabytes. If I can split a page or two out,
I'll post that.

Title:
  multi-page TIF crashes on print, or print preview

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This was a pretty large (33 pages) multi-page color TIFF. I was trying
  to print it to a Brother laser printer over a network. Viewing works
  fine. When I hit the preview button, or print, either the whole file
  or one page, the app just dumps without a goodbye. Eye of Gnome only
  sees the first page. GIMP reports "Subsampling tag is not set, yet
  subsampling inside JPEG data [1,1] does not match default values
  [2,2]; assuming subsampling inside JPEG data is correct" and
  "Depreciated and troublesome old-style JPEG compression mode, please
  convert to new-style JPEG compression and notify vendor of writing
  software".
