1592	Creation of spatial index fails on large POINT Shapefile	ftrastour	warmerdam	"When executed on a large point Shapefile (over 1.300.000 points), the following command :

   ogrinfo -sql 'CREATE SPATIAL INDEX ON layer' layer.shp

allocates too many memory (over 1.5Go) then failed on an allocation error.

Configuration : FWTools 1.1.4 / Windows XP.

Note that :
* shptree (from mapserver) works fine on the same dataset.
* using spatial index creation on 'line' shapefile works fine (tested on 2.500.000 linestring25D each made of 4 points).
