Hi,

I'm rendering a 256x256 tile from a mercury dem. I noticed the gdalwarp is
producing a bad output when using interpolation with the following command

gdalwarp -of PNG -r bilinear -t_srs '+proj=eqc +a=2439700 +b=2439700
+lon_0=0.000000 +lat_0=0.000000 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +units=m +no_defs' -ts 256
256 -te -958067.949620 -958067.950079 0.000460 0.000000 -overwrite
msgr_dem_low_res.tif tile.png

The output image is kind of blurred/low resolution

On the other side, it looks good if nearest interpolation is used

gdalwarp -of PNG -t_srs '+proj=eqc +a=2439700 +b=2439700 +lon_0=0.000000
+lat_0=0.000000 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +units=m +no_defs' -ts 256 256 -te
-958067.949620 -958067.950079 0.000460 0.000000 -overwrite

The problem seems related to the fact that the right edge of the tile is
around longitude 0, while the source image is a full globe/360 degrees
image centered at 180 longitude

If I reduce the tile size to 255x255 for avoiding the 0 longitude at the
edge, then the interpolated output file looks much better

gdalwarp -of PNG -r bilinear -t_srs '+proj=eqc +a=2439700 +b=2439700
+lon_0=0.000000 +lat_0=0.000000 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +units=m +no_defs' -ts 255
255 -te -958067.949620 -950583.044220 -7484.905400 0.000000 -overwrite

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in GDAL?

I'm using the mercury dem from here
https://pdsimage2.wr.usgs.gov/Messenger/MESSDEM_1001/DEM/GLOBAL/IMG/
Here is a lower resolution of the same dem for testing purpose

Thanks in advance for your help,
