Huh. As far as I can see this example should traverse the same code
path. I was about to ask for the dataset, but I think you might have
already sent it to me once --- does this look familiar?

$ tar tvfj geography.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- shade/shade 6444737 2008-06-06 13:33 geography.dbf
-rw-r--r-- shade/shade 37179008 2008-06-06 13:33 geography.shp
-rw-r--r-- shade/shade 263140 2008-06-06 13:33 geography.shx

If so, what do I do with it exactly --- the file extensions convey
nothing to my mind at the moment ...

regards, tom lane
