[Gdal-dev] projection info in mapinfo tab files corrupt when specifying -a_srs or -s_srs and -t_srs in ogr2ogr

[Peter Rushforth]

Hi,

I've done a little more testing and have a little more info.  I attach
a csv file
which demonstrates when the corruption of the tab file occurs.

It appears to occur whenever the -a_srs option is used in ogr2ogr,
or when the data is reprojected using -s_srs and -t_srs.

The symptoms include crashing and irregular behaviour of mapinfo.  When one
views the Change Current view dialog, the coordinates are garbage and
the map units are incorrect.

I am using fwtools 1.01 on windows, which *believe* is pretty up to
date wrt cvs snapshots.

I've been looking at the data files in mapinfo pro viewer 8.0 and tatuk viewer.
Tatuk doesn't seem to notice the problem, mapinfo doesn't like it.

Does this info lead anyone to conclude anything about possible causes?

Cheers,
Peter
