[Freegis-list] VMAP0/Eurnasia -> SHAPE problems (OGR/OGDI driver)

[Markus Neteler]

Dear list members,

[I already posted on GDAL-dev, sorry for crossposting - now I try here]
 
did anyone (successfully) manage to convert VMAP0/Eurnasia
to SHAPE format (or some other widely used GIS format supported
by OGR)?

I have compiled the OGDI-3.1.1 driver on Redhat Linux (a few
Makefile changes were required), then compiled OGR with
OGDI support (CVS version of GDAL/OGR).

The 'ogrinfo' works well, but only reports features for 4 maps 
of 76 maps:

For
- 72 maps is reported that they contain 0 features
-  4 maps contain this number of features:
