shp2pgsql crashes when loading into geography

[pcreso]

I was trying to load a GSHHS global shapefile into postgis geography using shp2pgsql. It fails with the message below, but it succeeds when writing geometries.

@pcreso: can you attach the offending shapefile ? Even better if a minimal version of it still reproducing the crash.

Nevermind, found the url: ​http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/data/gshhs/version2.2.0/GSHHS_shp_2.2.0.zip

Testing in progress…

[strk]

1.5 confirmed to segfault, 2.0 seems fine (will retest trunk before closing)

[strk]

Fixed by r8708 in the 1.5 branch

[strk]

Tested again with trunk, no memory errors there (but lots of leaks, for another ticket)
