Fu Chen,

Ideally I would like access to the dataset so that I could try and modify
the SAR_CEOS driver to skip it or handle it correctly.

However, the answer to your question is that you can modify the driver order.
Fetch the SAR_CEOS driver from the GDALDriverManager with the GetDriverByName()
method, and then use DeregisterDriver() to remove it from the manager, and
RegisterDriver() to register it again.  At that point it should appear at
the end of the list of drivers to try.

Best regards,
