[gdal-dev] OGR error

[nicholas.g.lawrence at mainroads.qld.gov.au]

I am using ogr2ogr to append several shapefiles into one shapefile.

The command

ogr2ogr -update -append C:\DATA\neville\fire.shp
C:\DATA\neville\bundaberg.shp -nln fire

which is repeated many times in a batch file to append more and more
shapefiles to
the destination file.

After about a dozen successful appends, I get this error message

ERROR 1: Error in psSHP->sHooks.FSeek() or fwrite() writing object to .shp
file.

which is repeated a 1000 times until ogr2ogr decides to stop giving
warnings.

what does this error mean?

Regards,
nick
