Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 Linux with current (09 Dec.) build of client repository.

Please compile/run 'LoadTest.java' from JDK-8144997 and try to load the image attached.

Output:
== Loading 6cd02db6f3688efdd705c28ffcb9a3d3.tif ==

But the image could be loaded using, e.g., GNOME Image Viewer and even old (JAI-based) java code. The issue is also reproducible on Mac OS X 10.10.
