[gdal-dev] GDALINFO fails with large .tif raster

[Even Rouault]

I've downloaded your TIFF image and tried it with different GDAL versions : 
GDAL SVN with internal libtiff, GDAL 1.5 branch with my system libtiff 
(3.8.2-7ubuntu2), and GDAL 1.4.1 (Ubuntu package libgdal1-1.4.0, 
1.4.1-6build1) with system libtiff, and all of them can gdalinfo successfully 
on it.

Have you tried to run 'tiffdump' on your TIFF image ?

Best regards,
Even
