osr.ImportFromESRI() method crashes on valid input

[dron]

In order to reproduce this bug just start a Python interpreter:

>>> from osr import *
>>> o = SpatialReference()
>>> o.ImportFromESRI("""GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1927",DATUM["D_North_American_1927",SPHEROID["Clarke_1866",6378206.4,294.9786982]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]""")

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I am understand that input for osr.ImportFromESRI() fucntion should be a list, not a string, but we should get an exception instead of crash. I do not undestand in deep the NG bindings, so I am prefer to fill report instead of digging into the problem myself.

Best regards,

More info on this bug. If we do:

>>> o.ImportFromESRI(['PROJCS["PS Test",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.2572235629972]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Stereographic_South_Pole"],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",-80.2333],PARAMETER["central_meridian",171],PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9999],PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]'])

the result will be:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/osr.py", line 330, in ImportFromESRI
    return _osr.SpatialReference_ImportFromESRI(*args)
RuntimeError: OGR Error: Corrupt data

Does it work or not? It looks like it doesn't. I got the above projection definition from the ogr_esri.py test, so it should be valid.
