Raster calculator crashes unexpectedly with moderate sized TIFs

Original Redmine Issue: 15281
Affected QGIS version: 2.16.0
Redmine category:raster_calculator

I would have thought these were large files, but after seeing #21389 I guess not. I have 4GB and 5GB TIFFs on Windows 7 and I'm trying to do:

TIGER@1 OR WATER@1

and QGIS immediately crashes without warning after I click OK. (I actually want to OR in a third file, but have been waiting 16 hours for the Attribute Table editor to delete multiple columns from a 490Mb DBF before I can prepare it)

The rasters were created with:

gdal_rasterize.exe -burn 40 -tr 10.0 10.0 CENSUS2010TIGERROADS_ARC.shp -l CENSUS2010TIGERROADS_ARC TIGER.tif
gdal_rasterize.exe -burn 1000000000 -tr 10.0 10.0 HYDRO25K_POLY.shp -l HYDRO25K_POLY HYDRO.tif

The source files are available from:

• http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/hd.html
• http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/census2010.html

P.S. I also tried to use gdal_calc as a work around without success

gdal_calc.bat -A TIGER.tif -B HYDRO.tif --outfile=CostPath.tif --calc="A|B"
ImportError: No module named site

Got gdal_calc.py working after using out that I had to run OSGeo4W.bat first.

I get the following:

Error! Dimensions of file HYDRO.tif (33592, 23330) are different from other files (29593, 18206). Cannot proceed

I clipped the rasters to be the same size/extent, although that really should not be necessary, and it still crashes.

seems that #21389 is still valid. I confirm on a clean 2.16 installation on linux.

The gdal raster calculator issue must be reported in the gdal bug tracker.
