Description of problem:
Hello,

I am using tiffsplit from libtiff to split a multipage tiff file into its
components.  The source file is in big-endian format.

Running tiffsplit creates files with the little-endian format flag, but the data
is still in big-endian format.  In other words, only the flag has changed.  Thus
viewing this in display (ImageMagick) or another viewer results in data that is
incorrect.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libtiff-3.5.7-11

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a multipage big-endian tiff file
2. Run tiffsplit on it from a little-endian machine.
3.
    

Actual Results:  The new files have the little-endian file set, but the data is
stored in big-endian format.

Expected Results:  The new files should either have the big-endian flag set and
be in big-endian format, or should be in little-endian format with the
little-endian flag.

Additional info:

I have checked the source code from libtiff.org, and this bug is present even in
v3.6beta.
