This is actually identical to the dataset I used previously. The MD5
checksum of the file is different but the size as well as the contents
are the same.

This is how the 'ogrinfo' output for the complete layer looks here:

ERROR 4: OGDI Driver doesn't support update.
Had to open data source read-only.

I put a copy of the 'ogrinfo' output fo the whole v0eur dataset here:

  ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/local/ogrinfo.v0eur.gz

Surprisingly the first four layers are reported to have "features", all
of the following are 'empty', but they still contain the
meta-information.

Cheers,
