Some useful error message or just a mostly useless crash notification?

Hm, for me gdalinfo --formats reported GeoRaster and ogrinfo OCI.  But I must
admit that I never tried georaster so far - apparently that didn't work here.
I'm relativly sure I've used ogr2ogr with that oci driver before.

Anyway, I've rebuilt both - georaster now works for me (populating oracle with
gdal_translate tif to geor and viewing using the qgis oracle raster plugin from
qgis).

Works for me now, too.  Didn't retest with the previous DLLs.

The standalone installer uses the OSGEO4W packages too (but doesn't include
oracle support).  So no coincidence at all.
