[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr in fwtools 2.3 on windows gml to shp issue

[Rushforth, Peter]

Hi,

Using fwtools 2.3 on windows, I run the ogr2ogr command on a gml file to 
create a shp file.  

I get the following error message:

C:\Program Files\FWTools2.3.0\>ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" peter.shp test.gml
ERROR 1: Too much data inside one element. File probably corrupted

When I cut down the number of coordinates in the gml:Polygon (to an extreme minimum),
the shp file is created.  But I can't do that in real life.

Also, I want to supply a gfs file to control attribute name mapping.  But it seems
to be ignored.

Thanks
