[Qgis-developer] Projection "WGS_1984_Complex_UTM_Zone_26N": qgis crashes

[Agustin Lobo]

Hi!
I've been given a shape file with the following prj:
PROJCS["WGS_1984_Complex_UTM_Zone_26N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator_Complex"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-27.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]

that makes qgis crash leaving the following message in the console:

ERROR 6: No translation for Transverse_Mercator_Complex to PROJ.4
format is known.

Apparently, there is no difference with the parameters I was geting
until now for the same type of layers:
PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_26N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-27.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]

but the "WGS_1984_Complex_UTM_Zone_26N" is actually listed in
http://resources.esri.com/help/1200/arcgisexplorer/componenthelp/index.html#//0003000002tw000000

1. As qgis crashes, can I safely modify the prj file and use
"WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_26N"? (As far as I can tell, yes, but would like
confirmation)
2. Does anyone know why this "WGS_1984_Complex_UTM_Zone_26N" has been
introduced?
3. Are we going to have support for "WGS_1984_Complex_UTM_Zone_26N" in
QGIS in the near future?

Thanks
