Thanks for pointing me at the appropriate mailing list. As I'm not that
comfortable with IRC I'll chose this medium.

Indeed, this is almost what I'm doing here. I just added renaming the
layers (with "-nln") in order to make it a functional equivalent of
yours. All this looks quite reasonable and 'ogr2ogr' always returns
zero. What makes me wonder is that the dump of the resulting database
is only 14 MByte in size as the respective 'v0eur' dataset is 521
MByte. Does this match your experience or do you think I missed
something relevant ?
Some old posting on this topic suggested to remove trailing dots at
filenames in the VMAP0 set - I already did that without realizing
significant change.

In any case I took the most recent releases I could find, which means
ogdi-3.1.4 and gdal-1.2.6 (besides proj-4.4.9 and geos-2.1.3).
Everything built without errors (GCC-3.4.2 on Solaris8/Sparc).

Ah, I just found out where to get ogdi-3.1.5 and check with it -
although I suspect the error is a totally different one. I'll ned to
get some debug information out of 'ogr2gr', probably it actually
doesn't read the VMAP0 contents, just the structure.

Cheers,
	Martin.
