[gdal-dev] ogr.BuildPolygonFromEdges as called from python segfaults

[David Fuhry]

ogr.BuildPolygonFromEdges as called from python is always throwing an 
exception for me, and perhaps always segfaulting:

$ ./test_build_poly.py
BuildPolygonFromEdges failed.
Segmentation fault

I first experienced the error running swig/python/samples/tigerpoly.py 
on some TIGER data.  I duplicated some of tigerpoly.pl into a reduced 
python testcase (attached).

Tested with both svn head and 1.5.1, on both RHEL4 x86_64 and Debian 
x86_64.  I don't know the debugging procedure for tracing python calls 
into C++.  Suggestions on that or how to fix the bug welcome.

Thanks,

Dave
