Ciao Paolo!

I was getting the same error (i.e. buffer overflow or segfault) a few
days back while trying to import a big shapefile (~160MB). There is also
a post in the archive about my problem importing this shapefile in
GRASS' database [1] perhaps related with the "Florida coastline"
problem".

I currently use gdal-1.6.0beta2 and grass6_devel under Ubuntu Intrepid
Ibex 64-bit and did not see this error again.

I did not pay too much attention to your post initially since I thought
that it's the problematic shapefile that causes the errors. Now I am
unsure of what really causes the failure to import this shapefile. Or
better said, I am unsure of what *caused* the failure since I sort of
managed to get in in the database (cleaning process never really ends).
But the latter issue should be a separate post.
