[Radiance-general] rtcontrib output crashes preview, finder

[Thomas Bleicher]

Have you tried opening the image in ximage via Terminal.app?

The Finder preview and the Radiance use different libraries to
open/show HDR images.

Thomas

I'm up to the first use of tregenza.cal to generate sky patches (command below) and finding that the first image, p000.hdr, is corrupted somehow. Preview crashes when I try to open the image and when I even select it in the Finder, the Finder behaves very strangely (I think it's crashing and restarting all in the space of about two seconds). Getinfo reports what looks like a correct header, comparing the headers of p000.hdr and p001.hdr. The files are all the same size. The other images, p001.hdr to p145.hdr all open fine.
