With this change, I would expect the files from idr0008 to be detected as "plain" TIFF; showinf or similar should initialize and show the image without error. I tested with an artificial file created by:
which was enough to demonstrate the original exception, but we may want one of the idr0008 files in the test repo to be safe.
As discussed separately with @sbesson, this is probably the least disruptive way to solve the problem, as it does not require modifying any of the extra image detection logic in SVSReader. I would not expect this to introduce any test failures, and it should be safe for a patch release.
