[Qgis-developer] Problem with large attribute tables

[Otto Dassau]

Hi, 

I tried to open the database table of a very large shape file.

dbf -> 770 MB
shp -> 384 MB
shx -> 7   MB  

Loading and visualizing the file works fine, although it takes some minutes, but
opening the attribute table fails. 

The error message is:

QIconvCodec::convertToUnicode: using ASCII for conversion, iconv_open failed
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
Abgebrochen (core dumped)

When I generate a stacktrace, all it says is: 

#0  0xffffe410 in ?? ()
Cannot access memory at address 0xbf8e8520

Before I write a bug report I would like to ask if maybe someone else has
similar experiences. I thought it might be an encoding problem first, but I
checked and the encoding of the shape file is utf-8 and my system encoding, too.

kind regards,
 Otto
