[gdal-dev] C#: SpatialReference from EPSG failure (1.5, 1.5.1 not 1.6 dev)

[Tomas R]

Making use of the EPSG codes in the proj4-file epgs found in the FWTools 
distribution of GDAL (proj_lib/epsg).

Stepping through them reveals some of them fails when trying to setup a 
spatialreference and a transform to WGS84. When instead using the Proj4 
string some works but most of them still fail.
(short code-snippet:
spatialReference = new SpatialReference("");
spatialReference.ImportFromEPSG(data.EPSG);
SpatialReference wgs84 = new SpatialReference("");
wgs84.SetWellKnownGeogCS("WGS84");
gpsToReference = new CoordinateTransformation(wgs84, refererence);
referenceToGps = new CoordinateTransformation(refererence, wgs84);

This in version 1.5/1.5.1 of GDAL. (own compilation)
Do a try with GDAL 1.6dev instead  (from FWTools) and all works with the 
EPSG code (or Proj4)
Do I miss something in my own compilation? Or an error in GDAL C#?

OSB1936 works when setting up via Proj4 but not EPSG.

The ones who fail on both  EPSG-codes and Proj4 are.

And YES, I know - many of the EPSG-initiated, and Proj4, references lack 
correct toWGS coefficients so the transforms my not be accurate but that 
is a problem to be handled later (or is there as source with correct 
toWGS coefficients that I may use?)

Yours
