[gdal-dev] Gdalwarp error: warping imagery with coordinates across the international date line

[Tom Webster]

I have an image with UTM coordinates across the international date line (longitude 180E or 180W) - please refer to the header information below, and now I want to convert this to a global projection Geographic WGS84 with GDALWARP. It seems the calculation for the output image size is wrong. Please confirm. Thanks.
