[gdal-dev] Problem converting .gml to shapefile

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Adrian,

May be the problem is not with the shapefile. Provide a copy of the
shapefile you generated to me.

Shapefile field names have some limitations. They cannot be longer
than 10 chars. http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html
