"Not enough memory" errors opening some TIFF files

[Aolei]

Found a number of TIFF files which XnView won't open while other viewers do (BlueView, Windows Photo Viewer, Paint etc.)
The error I get from XnView is "Not enough memory" but the files are much small than others I regularly open and my workstation has 96GB of RAM (Win7 Pro 64bit).
The images are 8 bit with LZW compression. If I resave without compression I can open them. If I resave with LZW again (using BlueView) I cannot.
I think the cause is something about the BlueView compression (recompressing the TIFF with XNView gives a bigger compressed file but it remains readable).
This is probably the same issue reported in: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... ry+#p21077

I have uploaded a 55k sample file to: https://www.yousendit.com/download/WUJZ ... eEJDaDhUQw (file expires 1-Nov, or probably after 25 downloads)
(I understand this file is now in the public domain but to avoid any risk of appearing to leak confidential data I have made all pixels white - it still exhibits the issue though it is now rather boring!)

I used AsTiffTagViewer to view the properties of each TIF (although saved with LZW in each case the one written by XnView is quite a lot larger than the one written by BlueView):
