#2120: shp2pgsql mishandles geometry column

 Priority:  medium      |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.2
Component:  postgis     |     Version:  2.0.x

 Running shp2pgsql on the attached SHP produces the attached SQL file. The
 only switch I used was '''-s 3081'''.

 The geometry column is mishandled for two reasons:

  * Type is '''varchar'''. Should be '''geometry'''.
  * Even if '''varchar''' was correct, it's making a '''varchar''' with
 length 255, which is far to small to contain some of the values for that
 column in the SQL '''INSERT''' commands.

 This is happening with 2.0.1.
