   Thanks for this update.

   That one is mentioned in discussion, but a patch hasn't yet been 
written.   Ideal may be to have a configuration flag that says whether the 
exception is raised or not.

   I had the same issue with a client, and for them I just commented that 
line out.

   else: pass #raise Exception("Zero length data returned from layer.")


   Wish I had time to create/test a patch, but things are a bit busy 
work-wise at the moment.
