GDAL community,
  I am using the python bindings to gdal. I am unable to read a whole
NITF image that is 25600x19200 and UInt16 in one call to ReadAsArray
I end up getting a core dump. I can open smaller size images.

Does gdal have a size limit on the python/numpy interface?


inSet = gdal.OpenShared(args[0])
buf = inSet.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray()


I am using 
numpy-1.0.4
swig-1.3.29
python-2.4.4
gdal-1.5.0


thanks
Jared
