Vladimir,

I think I will need example data to reproduce and fix this problem.  I would
suggest filing a bug in bugzilla and attaching the smallest dataset you can
find to reproduce the problem(s).

You mention the .shx file.  Are you suggesting your .shx file is out of
sync with the .shp file it relates to?  If so, there will indeed be
problems and other than providing somewhat more graceful error reporting,
it isn't obvious I would be able to fix it.

Best regards,
