Curt,

I tested on a bunch of other files, and discovered that a bunch of new
contributed code related to recognising multipolygons properly was leaking
geometry objects quite seriously.  I have committed a fix to the
gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/shape/shape2ogr.cpp file that corrects this.  I imagine
this was what was causing you problems.

Best regards,
