[FWTools] BigTiff problem in experimental FWTools3

[Petteri Packalen]

Hello,

I'm facing a problem related to BigTiff support in experimental FWTools3 
on Linux. BigTiff support works fine with all compiled programs (e.g. 
gdal_translate, gdalwarp) but not with the python script 
gdal_fillnodata.py. For instance, executing:

   gdal_fillnodata.py -md 10 unfilled.tif filled.tif

is terminated by the message:

   ERROR 1: TIFFAppendToStrip:Maximum TIFF file size exceeded
   ERROR 1: An error occured while writing a dirty block
   ERROR 1: TIFFAppendToStrip:Maximum TIFF file size exceeded
   ...

I have tested with versions 3.0.2 and 3.0.6 under 32 and 64 bit Ubuntus.

Any hint what is going wrong?
