Olivier,

Try:

  gdal_translate -co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL -srcwin 400 400 230 360 test.tif dest.tif

And see if the resulting file is ok in TatukGIS.  If it is, then
the problem is that TatukGIS doesn't support band interleaved
(Planar Configuration: Separate) files.  These are not "baseline"
TIFF, so you could make the case that GDAL should not generate
them by default.  You could also make the case that it is lame for
a respected piece of software like TatukGIS to not support them.

Of course, it could be something else.

Best regards,
