NSImage oddity

I have played some more and found out the following:

        NSString *path = ...
        NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
        NSImage *image = [[NSImage alloc] initWithData:data];

This works with gui.0.9.0 for a TIFF but not for a PNG (see above).
This works with gui.0.9.2 for a PNG but not for a TIFF.

Anybody tried to load a TIFF with the latest version 0.9.2? It does no 
longer work for me. I get no NSImageRep in the NSImage, though the 
NSImage itself is created.

Any hints?

Regards,
