Splendid! That did the trick.

However - I have another dataset from the middle east, and approaching  
this data the same way, even trying to reverse the dataset from the  
images, it still fails:

Any ideas on what could be wrong here is appreciated.

Thanks. Just before it crashed, I just got that tip from a kind  
individual on irc://irc.freenode.net/#gdal

Now, with this as a reference:

... trying to have the dots numbered or named and outputting the two  
layers as a transverse mercator projected .png file are the two things  
left to do.

I would really appreciate some input on how to proceed, as I cannot  
figure out if gdal_rasterize can be used for this purpose.

Best regards,
