[postgis-users] Segfault in shp2pgsql? Or did I mess up compiling.

[Ron Mayer]

I just tried installing postgis1.0.0 on SuSE 9.2 and seem to be getting a
segmentation fault with some of the shp2pgsql imports.  This shapefile:

   http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/nationalatlas/citiesx020.tar.gz

is one of the ones crashing.  (entire sequence of steps shown below)
I don't recall having this problem with one of the earlier RC's, but
can't remember exactly which one.

If someone can try this shp2pgsql on that shapefile and tell me if it
works for them, I'll try to figure out what's wrong with my environment;
or if someone can point me in the right direction what to try next, I'll
be happy to try it.
