The following code will fail with varying exceptions depending on the exact situation:

        ImageInputStream iis; // initialization assumed
        ImageReader reader =
            ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("TIFF").next();
        TIFFImageReadParam param = new TIFFImageReadParam();
        param.removeAllowedTagSet(BaselineTIFFTagSet.getInstance());
        reader.setInput(iis, false, true);
        BufferedImage image = reader.read(0, param); // fails here

For example:

Exception in thread "main" javax.imageio.IIOException: Insufficient data offsets or byte counts
at com.sun.imageio.plugins.tiff.TIFFIFD.checkFieldOffsets(java.desktop/TIFFIFD.java:460)

The BaselineTIFFTagSet contains some fields which are essential for reading the data and should never be ignored.
