[Gdal-dev] srtm and gdaladdo question

I ran into the same problem a while back - what version of libtiff is  
your gdal built with?  I found that when going from tiff 3.7.4 to  
3.8.0 (still there at 3.8.2) I started getting these block errors at  
higher overview levels.  This is with grey-scale images (like SRTM),  
with color images I get bus errors.

I've been meaning to submit a bug report, but I don't know if it's  
libtiff of GDAL (seems to be libtiff, from the thread trace), and I  
never heard anything from my posts on this list.
