EVIL SHAPE file kills QGIS + Xserver

Priority: major: does not work as expected Milestone:
Component: Vectors Version: Trunk
Keywords: Cc:
Must Fix for Release: No Platform: Mandriva

Description

This SHAPE file was generated in GRASS 6.3 and exported with v.out.ogr:

​http://mpa.itc.it/markus/tmp/oceans_ll.tgz (3891020 bytes)

It kills the entire Xserver when opening it in QGIS. If possible, please take a look.

thanks, Markus

Works for me in both 0.8 and trunk, bad display however and very slow rendering. Compiling with debug I am.

Have libgdal 1.4.0 and no OTF.

from #gdal: 

<FrankW> It appears that the WKT representation of feature 1645 is roughly 10MB - so very very large.
<FrankW> If QGIS is trying to tesselate the feature it is likely effectively hung on it.

Not much QGIS can do then to try drawing the feature. I suggest downgrading to gdal 1.4.0 and see what happens. For me it takes a minutes to open the layer, I guess it depends on the machine you have.

I'm closing this issue please re-open if it doesn't work with gdal 1.4.0.
