[Gdal-dev] gdal_translate adding ESRI projection bug?

Hi,

I use gdal_translate with -a_srs "ESRI::projection.prj", with the following
projection.prj:
PROJCS["Mars_Sinusoidal_clon93",GEOGCS["MOLA_MEGDR_Sphere",DATUM["MOLA_MEGDR_Sphere",SPHEROID["MOLA_MEGDR_Sphere",3396000.0,0.0]],PRIMEM["Reference_Meridian",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Sinusoidal"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",93.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]

When I open the resulting file in ArcGIS the Central_Meridian is somehow set
to zero. I tried multiple formats but all put the image in the zero clon
location. Somehow the 93 isn't read correctly during the gdal_translate (is
my conclusion). Could this be a bug?

Thanks in advance,

Jelmer Oosthoek
