 Reporter:  mwtoews    |       Owner:  pramsey      
     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium     |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.0
Component:  postgis    |     Version:  trunk        
 Keywords:  shp2pgsql  |  
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 When using the "-w" option for WKT output on MULTILINESTRING/MULTIPOLYGON
 shapefiles, the output is invalid.[[BR]]
 For example, using a two feature shapefile where the first is a single
 polygon and the second is a two-piece multipolygon:
 {{{
 #!sql
 $ shp2pgsql -s 4326 -w foopoly.shp
 Shapefile type: Polygon
 Postgis type: MULTIPOLYGON[2]
 ...
 INSERT INTO "foopoly" ("fooname",the_geom) VALUES
 ('triangle',GeomFromText('SRID=4326;MULTIPOLYGON(SRID=4326;((-0.573744292237443
