I have encountered the following error , and not that it was previously
raised: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2013-December/364489.html
but I cannot find any solution.

I have now encountered this issue a number of times with various large tif
files  exported form ARCGIS.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

I cannot include w worked example since the functions work OK with rasters
created within R ( and many imported ones too).

I have put a zipped copy of the tif file ( and its associated vat file ovr
file etc) on the web at :

Thanks
