Yes, GDAL can successfully process images with 15,000 columns by 15,000 rows. I 
have used GDAL on a computer with only 3 GB RAM to process an image with Image 
Width: 260,000 Image Length: 195,000. What version of GAL are you using? Are 
you using GDAL 1.7.0? What operating system are you using? How much RAM is 
available to GDAL? Greg
