shp2pgsql: *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list

[kneufeld]

When trying to load a free Waterbody.shp dataset from the City of Kamloops (​http://www.kamloops.ca/downloads/maps/hydrographySHP.zip) I get this error:

shp2pgsql -s 26910 -D WaterBody.shp waterbodies | psql postgis

Interestingly, Quantum's "Spit" loader worked just fine.

Works fine with version 1.3.6, but error is reproducible with 1.5.1.

The crash happens on FID 196:

$ ogrinfo WaterBody.shp WaterBody
...

OGRFeature(WaterBody):195
  FACILITYID (String) = (null)
  NAME (String) = (null)
  POLYGON ((706728.37352437433 5610997.3840159886,...

OGRFeature(WaterBody):196
  FACILITYID (String) = (null)
  NAME (String) = (null)
  MULTIPOLYGON EMPTY

OGRFeature(WaterBody):197
  FACILITYID (String) = (null)
  NAME (String) = (null)
  POLYGON ((682101.90999524202 5614640.7300350443,...

...

I've confirmed with ArcGIS that FID=196 does not have any geometry.

I've just tried this using latest 1.5 branch SVN and it works fine for me. Can you re-test with 1.5 SVN and report back?

If it still fails, can you give us more information about your platform, etc.

Confirm a crash at 1.5.1 and success at 1.5-svn, so I'm closing this out, it'll be fixed at next patch release.
