 I did olpc-update 703 then ran Bert's script to reinstall activities,
 which I think gave me Read activity version 45.

 If you go to http://www.zarvantech.com/web/tiff_samples.html  and click on
 the samples then do the dance to open them in Read,[[BR]]
 * patent.tif crashed Read, it never opened[[BR]]
 * book.tif opened in Read but displayed just gray and page 0/0[[BR]]
 * fax.tif displayed showing page 0/0 (instead of 1/1)but after I scrolled
 down Read crashed[[BR]]
 They work fine in MS Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.  Alas I don't have
 Evince, maybe someone else can try that.

 Also, after these crashes if I went to the Journal,[[BR]]
 * patent.tif had no preview[[BR]]
 * book.tif showed the ''web page'' as its thumbnail, and didn't have Read
 in its Start list of activities.  (I repeated and this particular glitch
 didn't happen, book.tif just had a blank thumbnail.)[[BR]]
 * fax.tif had the expected thumbnail (cool!)
