Hi everyone,

I've been experiencing errors using the aggregate() raster function on
large files. It only seems to happen when using the expand=FALSE option.

The warning I get reads:

Warning message:
In .rasterFromRasterFile(grdfile, band = band, objecttype) :
  size of values file does not match the number of cells (given the data
type)

And most of the time the bottom rows of the resulting aggregated image
contains values that read -3.4e+38 (which to me is rather arbitrairy).

I'm running:
R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) -- "Good Sport"
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
raster 2.1-37

Any clues on how to solve this would be appreciated. The error also seems
to be limited to large files > 5000 x 5000 pixels or so.

Best,
Koen
