[gdal-dev] Trying to isolate cause of segmentation fault in gdal_rasterize

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Roger,

I would suggest you to try it with gdal-1.6.2 first.

If that fails, and if can provide a sample dataset that causes the
problem, submit a bug report at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/

As for finding the difference between the datasets, you can use the
ogrinfo utility to examine the data. You can get the details about
ogrinfo at http://www.gdal.org/ogrinfo.html and some examples of using
it on postgresql at http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_pg.html
