[Xastir-Dev] warning: big change to map_shp about to commit

[Alan Crosswell]

If you set debugging to 16 there will be a bunch of lines starting with "dbfawk" 
which show what values were generated for each dbf row.  This is a way to debug 
what values got set.   I think the labels thing might have to do with the last 
value of the line width hanging around for when the text is drawn.

Put a copy of your shapefiles and config file somewhere and I'll see what I can do.
