I've read (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=577401) that there is a workaround :

The workaround would be for efax to call gs with an additional option

  -dMaxStripSize=0

A tiff file manually created with

    gs -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -dNOPAUSE -dMaxStripSize=0 \
       -sOutputFile=sample.%03d sample.ps </dev/null

was sent without problems.

But I don't see where I can modifie the way efax calls gs : it's not in /etc/efax.rc. I hope it's not in source code...
I can convert manually a postscript file to a tiff file using the above command line but then I can't tell to efax-gtk how to use a tiff file instead of the postscript file it expects...
