[gdal-dev] GDALClose causing segfault

[Even Rouault]

Wendy,

You could try to run Valgrind on your program to get an idea of what goes 
wrong. If you think that it is a GDAL bug and you have a way of reproducing 
it with a small program demonstrating the problem, you could post it as a 
Trac ticket.

Otherwise there is no required order for closing the input or output datasets. 
The only important thing is not to reuse it afterwards of course.

Best regards,
Even
