In addition, pnmtotiffcmyk fails too --- because of the LZW patent issue.
But this patent has already expired, AFAIK.
Testing pnmtotiffcmyk on test.pbm (Expected 0, got 4)
Testing pnmtotiffcmyk on test.pgm (Expected 0, got 4)
Testing pnmtotiffcmyk on test.ppm (Expected 0, got 4)
Standard Output: LZW compression is not available to due to Unisys patent enforcement.
