Wim,
A serious bug was discovered late last week in the PCIDSK driver with
files larger than about 250MB (well it really depends on a few
configuration factors). It has been fixed but there the bug is in
GDAL 1.4.0, and in all FWTools releases. Once an FWTools 1.1.4 is
cut it should have the fix, but I have no specific timeline for that.
