[gdal-dev] OGRSpatialReference::importFromWkt ()

Hello all,
I am using OGR Spatial references to reproject points to plot in google
earth.  I read an ascii raster and an associated prj file to define the
source and destination spatial references.  My program gets hung up with a
certain *.prj file containing the text:

PROJCS["USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic_USGS_version",
GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",
DATUM["D_North_American_1983",
SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101],TOWGS84[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
0.0, 0.0, 0.0]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
PROJECTION["Albers"],
PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],
PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],
PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-114.9786],
PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",45.54426],
PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",46.12414],
PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",45.8342],
UNIT["Meter",1.0]]


I assume this is a valid prj, although importFrom Wkt() returns 5, which is
OGRERR_CORRUPT_DATA.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you
for your time.
