I am trying to use the converter 'shp2pgsql' from database/postgis version 1.5.2 to convert an ESRI shapefile into the geography data type of postgis/postgresql. It core dumps when using the two options '-G' and '-g' at the same time, at least on FreeBSD. Option '-G' switches from geometry to geography data type. With option '-g' I want to set another than the default name of the geography column. ---------------------- shp2pgsql -G -g geog_newname world.shp shp2pgsql: (malloc) /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c:4287: Failed assertion: "arena != NULL" Abbruch(core dumped) ---------------------- This is reproducable with other shapefiles, too. It does not happen, if '-G' is used without the '-g' option. It seems there is a problem with memory allocation? As far as I know this works on other platforms than FreeBSD. As test data may serve the world shape from http://www.vdstech.com/mapdata/world.zip Any help is really appreciated. And please let me know if I can help or test something. Rainer Hurling
