Replying to jef: Yes, trimming produces duplicate column names. This seems to cause the failure.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
See also #2151. Apparently OGR trims (or used to trim) the fieldnames by itself. What GDAL version is in use? Do the trimmed fieldnames produce duplicate names in use case that triggered this ticket?
r12890 improves the error reporting a bit by including OGRs error message and reporting which column produces duplicate names when truncated.
