gdal_merge.py possible error determining y limits, issue/fix

Description

I and others have had the following error message when merging tiles that are in much different alignments. (numbers vary)

ERROR 1: Attempt to create 42049x-15692 dataset is illegal,sizes must be larger than zero.

I made the following change to gdal_merge.py and it ‘appears’ to correct the problem in a few configurations I’m testing. It seems like the Y values are not calculated correctly in the current version.

Possible issue/fix WAS

# ulx = min(ulx, fi.ulx) # uly = max(uly, fi.uly) # lrx = max(lrx, fi.lrx) # lry = min(lry, fi.lry)

NOW

ulx=min(ulx,fi.ulx) uly=min(uly,fi.uly) lrx=max(lrx,fi.lrx) lry=max(lry,fi.lry)

Are your input datasets north-up oriented ? This looks like they would be upside down, or just ungeoreferenced.
