I have the following file.

$ls -lgo
lrwxr-xr-x 1 10 2010-03-15 18:30 tmp.tif -> ../tmp.tif
$ls -lgo ../tmp.tif
-rw-r--r-- 1 8986761209 2010-03-15 18:30 ../tmp.tif

Then I run the following command. But I get the following error. Is it because that the tiff file is too large to be handled?

$tiffsplit tmp.tif tmp/tmp

TIFFFetchDirectory: tmp.tif: Can not read TIFF directory count. TIFFReadDirectory: tmp.tif: Failed to read directory at offset 0. $tiffsplit

usage: tiffsplit input.tif [prefix]
