 I'm struggling to import this .shp to PostGIS. Have tried changing the
 encoding, i deleted 'Shape_Length' and 'Shape_Area' columns. Tried
 shp2pgsql command-line, SPIT, pgAdminIII (shapeloader OpenGeo).

 example error msg:

 Failed SQL begins: "INSERT INTO "gis"."County_VegPolys_SLU"
 ("OBJECTID","Formation","Oaks",the_geom) VALUES
 ('31320','2','9','0106000020B5080000010000000103000020B50800000500000012180000103CB7B15364564120F8AA1B94104141B0123FD8526456418065C56892104141C0B6E64B5064564100D5CC11"
 Failed in pgui_exec(): server closed the connection unexpectedly
         This probably means the server terminated abnormally
         before or while processing the request.
