I used
gdal_rasterize -i -b 1 -b 2 -b 3  -burn 255 -burn 255 -burn 255 -l
ammprv03 ammprv03.shp ortho.tif

and it didn't have an effect on the raster map (posted to
 http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/1458
).

I observe that the -i position is different. If that matters, please add
a related warning into http://www.gdal.org/gdal_rasterize.html .

thanks,
Markus
