Description John Hardin 2010-07-11 02:18:07 UTC 
Ghostscript's default tiffg3 output format has apparently changed in a manner that efax cannot parse.

The ghostscript command line run by the fax program needs a new parameter. diff attached.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to fax a postscript file
2. efax converts it to tiffg3 using ghostscript
3. efax dies with "Error: can't read multi-strip TIFF files"
