[gdal-dev] Error in fread() reading object from shp file

[Even Rouault]

Pedro,

There is a corruption in the .shp file. The file size (given as a number of 2-
byte words) at offset 24 to 27 is currently 268, which is plain wrong. The 
value should be 994732 / 2 = 497366 = 00 07 96 D6 in big endian order. Once 
patched, the shapefile can be read.

That said, I've just modified the code to not be dependent on the correctness 
of that field.
