Peng,

I am able to get through to www.gdal.org, and www.remotesensing.org/gdal
currently.  There have been some problems reported with www.remotesensing.org
earlier in the day.  I have logged in and restarted the mail queue to be
sure, but I didn't see anything obviously wrong.  I should soon see if this
email goes through.

I think I will need the test files.  There are a variety of circumstances in
which GDAL uses the libtiff internal conversion to RGBA.  This might be
happening in the case of the file that gets converted to four bands.
