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

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

As far as the message "ERROR 1: Too much data inside one element. File 
probably corrupted" is concerned, I think that FWTools-2.3.0 showed a 
temporary regression where the maximum size for a geometry was limited to 
100,000 bytes to avoid reading corrupted/hostile files. This limit was proved 
to be too low and raised to 10,000,000 bytes a bit later (see 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2818) and I believe that this fix went into 
FWTools-2.3.1. Unfortunately the FWTools home page isn't well updated and it 
only shows 2.3.0 as the latest version. But you can find here FWTools 2.3.1 : 
http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/FWTools231.exe

I was able to rename an attribute in a generated .gfs file and ogrinfo 
successfully returned the modified attribute name. So you'll have to provide 
more details, ideally a small GML file and the modified .gfs demonstrating a 
problem.

Best regards,
Even
