1.3.6 gdal_translate memory corruption

/usr/local/FWTools/bin_safe/gdal_translate -ot Int16 -of GTiff -co "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" input.vrt output.tif

* glibc detected * malloc(): memory corruption: 0x08058418 *

It fails With FWTools 1.3.6. With 1.3.5 it works fine.

I have reproduced this problem. A traceback suggests heap corruption, and the error occurs in TIFFMergeFieldInfo() - a major recent source of problems in libtiff. I will try updating libtiff and see if I can still reproduce the problem.

The problem does *not* occur with my internal libtiff development build. It does occur with FWTools.

Francisco,

Could you try this again with FWTools 1.3.9 for Linux?
