[Gdal-dev] "Old-Style" ESRI .PRJ files -- Access Violation onImportFromESRI

[Ben Discoe]

Chris,

Don't know if this helps, but we also moved our project from using
"importFromWkt" to "importFromESRI" and the transition was painless, no
crashes or unexpected behavior.

You could check for the usual things: GDAL is latest release, GDAL data
files are being found, etc. - next step would probably be to step into
importFromESRI and see where it's failing.

BTW, i think you could reduce your test example below to:

	OGRSpatialReference oSRS;
	char **papszPrj = CSLLoad(argv[1]);
	OGRErr eErr = oSRS.importFromESRI(papszPrj);
	CSLDestroy( papszPrj );

Good luck,
Ben
