[Gdal-dev] Wrong geometry type detected

[Petteri Packalen]

Frank et al.

I observed that the OGR recognizes incorrect point type in some occasions. 
When the real point type is wkbPoint25D but the Z-value is exactly zero 
getGeometryType() returns wkbPoint. This happens at least when the 
shapefile driver is used (GDAL 1.2.6.0).

I cannot see this to be preferred logic, or do I miss something?

Best regards,
Petteri
