Hi Paolo

Looks like these are 3D shapefiles, at least when running the checker 
with "create new layer" I got:

Failed to create the output layer: creation of layer failed (OGR 
error:Geometry type of `3D Polygon' not supported in shapefiles.

Type can be overridden with a layer creation option

of SHPT=POINT/ARC/POLYGON/MULTIPOINT/POINTZ/ARCZ/POLYGONZ/MULTIPOINTZ.

)

Some improvements are needed in QgsVectorFileWriter to discard the Z 
component resp to allow 3D polygons.

I'll also look at whether there is some bad handling within the geometry 
checker code itself.

Best Sandro
