Crash when trying to convert a vpc into a raster with raster_tin

[flemmens]

Hello,

I would like to report an issue:

I have a bunch of .laz files which I would like to convert into a raster.

To begin I create a vpc, which works fine:

pdal_wrench build_vpc --output=myterrain.vpc --input-file-list=my-laz-tiles.txt

Then I want to convert the vpc into a raster tif using the raster_tin method:

pdal_wrench to_raster_tin --resolution=0.2 --input=myterrain.vpc --output=myterrain.tif

If I have only a few .laz files in my-laz-tiles.txt, everything works well.

However, if I have more files (let's say 100+), the process starts and begins to create the temporary directory, but after a while it crashes

0...Killed

I tried with different files on several computers, it always crash after a while if there are too many files in the vpc. Sometimes it goes up to 100 but then it stucks creating the final tif (probably because it don't use bigtiff and is over the 4Gb limit of the regular tiffs).
