Comment (by lutra):

 Hi,

 I had the chance to try both the shapes you posted also on arcview 3.x and
 arcgis 9.x

 On arcview 3.x they load fine and attribute tables show the records
 correctly. Arcgis 9.x works differently: in the first case it gives first
 a "general function failure" and then, when you open the table, a "error
 getting a list of OIDs from the table" and shows nothing. In the second
 case Arcgis 3.x gives directly a "error loading feature class" and do not
 load the shape.

 On the other hand gvSIG seems to open correctly the table.

 In what situations do you use such shapefiles? Maybe do you digitize at a
 later time a vector and then attach it to the table?
