[gdal-dev] OGR shapefile problems

[William Kyngesburye]

So, the patch works.  But I notice that you only patched the polygon  
case.  I think it's possible that any shape type can have null shape  
data.  I don't know if it's correct behavior for shapefiles, but I've  
seen ArcGIS export such shapefiles myself, and I think I've seen it  
happen with point shapefiles as well.
