Pierre,

I'm not readily able to work on Oracle support just now.  My NT partition
with Oracle has become inaccessable due to an unfortunate "install" problem.

My understanding from the code is that multipolygons should work in OGRs
Oracle driver, but I am not sure how well tested it is.   Does ogrinfo
also crash against the layer in question?  If so, I would suggest you
submit a detailed bug including a snippet of SQL sufficient to create
a one record table that will demonstrate the problem.

That way I can fix it at some point when I have access to Oracle again.

Best regards,
