[create new location with v.in.ogr sets central parallel wrong]

The shape file's .prj reads:
PROJCS["Clarke_1866_Mercator",GEOGCS["GCS_Clarke_1866",DATUM["D_Clarke_1866",SPHEROID["Clarke_1866",6378206.4,294.9786982]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",100.0],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",-46.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]
(ignore datum problems for now)



The problem happens in lib/proj/convert.c


either in line 243:
    OSRMorphFromESRI( hSRS );

or on line 277
    if( OSRExportToProj4( hSRS, &pszProj4 ) != OGRERR_NONE )

At least as soon as we are past line 277, the pszProj4 contains a string with
+lat_ts=0


I am using debian/stable's gdal 1.2.6.

I will update to the DebianGIS GDAL 1.3.1 package for stable and report back.
