Running pylidar_index on an input SPD V4 file creates an output file which has a different number of points. This does not seem good. It may be harmless, but it could also be a sign of something more sinister. Example counts for a single TLS file show the number of points change from 28363782 to 28362382, a loss of 1400 points. It is not yet clear whether the points are missing from the file, or simply that the count is incorrectly recorded, but neither seems like a good thing.
