Stefano,

According to the above, the entire file is being treated as one big tile
which may be quite in-efficient and memory hungry.  But I don't think that
is your problem.   Perhaps you could place the file somewhere for me to
inspect?

I would also note that the libtiff support in GDAL 1.2.2 has been discovered
to have been incorrectly configured on Unix and will not include a number
of important compression types.  (fax, packbits, deflate and LZW are missing
I think).

Best regards,
