[GRASS-dev] v.in.ogr realloc problem

GRASS GRASS developer

Hello list,

(GRASS SVN of this morning)
Importing a vector of 400Mb (GADM <http://biogeo.berkeley.edu/gadm/&gt;,
country level only)
v.in.ogr broke with the following error message:
---------------------------------------------------------
Break polygons:
ERROR: G_realloc: unable to allocate 652680036 bytes at break_polygons.c:188
(Wed Feb 25 10:54:21 2009) Command finished (2163 sec)
---------------------------------------------------------

The Desktop PC has 8Gb RAM with Debian Sid (sidux) updated this morning too...
Any idea how I could let the memory allocation do its job?

Thank you,
Yann

Same like ticket #494?
I got this shapefile <http://biogeo.berkeley.edu/gadm/data/gadm_v0dot9_shp.zip&gt; and imported the whole thing, all levels, with v.in.ogr, grass65. No problems. Cleaning with v.in.ogr was successful, result is a topologically clean vector. I could not reproduce the error.

The G_realloc() error in Vect_break_polygons() remains a mystery.

Sorry for no help,
