Eggert,

The FWTools builds are done without debugging information.  If you wish
to investigate this problem you would either need to build GDAL/OGR yourself
from source and debug information and track it down in the debugger or find
a way to provide the problem file to a developer who could investigate the
problem.

Note that I am prepared to treat files as confidential with appropriate
notice, though I will not sign a non-disclosure for such purposes except
for paying clients.

If you can't do either of the above, then you are out of luck.

Best regards,
