[gdal-dev] illegal axis orientation combination with GDAL v2.4.4

[Andrew C Aitchison]

GDAL 2.4.4 crashes for me after reporting several
 	"ERROR 1: illegal axis orientation combination" 
errors with GeoTIFF files from the test suite that succeed with 2.4.3, 
3.0.2 and 3.0.3.

I haven't managed to find this error string in the source.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong in my build ?
My configure is
 	make distclean
 	./configure  --prefix=/usr/local/gdal2.4.4 --with-poppler
 	make ; make install

(though the errors printing the "Corner Coordinates" idicate that the 
location of the crash is not the real problem.)
