[gdal-dev] gdal_rasterize not masking float data

[Ned Horning]

I found out what the problem is. I did not delete the pyramid (.rrd) 
file associated with the image. As you know gdal_rasterize  does not 
change that file so when I displayed the processed image in ERDAS the 
viewer was still accessing the old (unchanged) pyramid images. I zoomed 
in but not enough to access the original (.img) image data. It appears 
to be working properly. Now I'll test it on a 9-band image. Sorry for 
the noise.
