[gdal-dev] Read error on large VRT files

[Armin Burger]

I meant the GDAL_MAX_DATASET_POOL_SIZE option. Don't know if it really 
has any influence, but these read errors happened multiple times in the 
past when trying to translate VRT's with lots of input files, for tiles 
that were actually readable. It could be of course also a problem of the 
network file system, short network time-outs etc.
