Comment(by vincent):

 Replying to [comment:2 hamish]:

 > Vincent, what version of proj4 and gdal are you using? what platform?

 Quite old ones :

 proj4 :
 Rel. 4.7.1, 23 September 2009

 gdal :
 GDAL 1.9.0, released 2011/12/29

 uname --all :
 Linux pc1 3.2.0-4-amd64 Debian 3.2.57-3 x86_64 GNU/Linux


 > did you try to then specify the definition manually by +proj4 terms or
 by manually choosing ellips to be sphere, etc?

 Yes, passing the proj4 chain gives the right projection, see this
 [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2014-March/070030.html
 thread] for history.

 > ps- please try to only use pseudo-mercator if data import/export demands
 it, it is the cause of much pain. :-)

 I keep it in mind from then...
