pgsql2shp crashes on Vista
| Reported by: | robe | Owned by: | robe |

Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- pgsql2shp -f C:\test -h t -p 5432 -u postgres somedb sometable Initializing… Done (postgis major version: 1).
Output shape: Polygon
Dumping: X
CRASH Seems to happen on both Vista Home and Professional. Issue existed for at least as far back as 1.3.3 (but don't have a 1.3.2 lying around to test with that).
See thread http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2008-December/022211.html
What is the expected output? shape files created
What do you see instead? 3 more or less empty files. On closer inspection since it gets to the Dumping: X before it crashes and my process mon confirms the pgsql connection seems to be working, I suspect the error is in the addRecord function of pgsql2shp.
Finally got my MingW environment at least working on one of my XPs and I'm apparently the only one with easy access to Vista. So I'll take a stab at at least narrowing the issue down.
Note: works fine on Windows2000/XP

Tested this on Vista and works fine now. Confirmed the old works if using binary (-b) switch. I'm closing this out.
After discussion with Mark — made final change. Tested this on OpenSUSE and Windows XP. Still need to retest on Vista (both binary and non-binary). Issue was the way we were releasing non-binary geom fields which it appears only Vista was sensitive to. Needed to change to use PQfreemem instead of free for newer versions of PostGIS.
