 Using the building_oops data from #167, you get I get the following
 output:

 {{{
 Heron-2:buildings_oops pramsey$ shp2pgsql buildings_oops.shp b
 Shapefile type: PolygonZ
 Postgis type: MULTIPOLYGON[4]
 SET STANDARD_CONFORMING_STRINGS TO ON;
 BEGIN;
 CREATE TABLE "b" (gid serial PRIMARY KEY,
 "layer" varchar(254),
 "elevation" numeric,
 "shape_leng" numeric,
 "shape_area" numeric);
 SELECT AddGeometryColumn('','b','the_geom','-1','MULTIPOLYGON',4);
 ERROR: geometry requires more points
 INSERT INTO "b" ("layer","elevation","shape_leng","shape_area",the_geom)
 VALUES
 ('S-BUILDING','1384.22300000','0.00000000000','0.00000000000',Heron-2:buildings_oops
 pramsey$
 }}}
 Again, I re-iterate, that we should not be doing validity checking in the
 loader.
