The issues I describe arise when dbfawk is enabled, and disappear when
dbfawk is disabled.  That makes them dbfawk issues.

I can email you a .plc file, but this does not solve the general
case -- and it means you'll have to cobble together dbfawk files for
every shapefile map map an xastir user needs to use, which isn't very
efficient.

There should be a checkbox to disable dbfawk if missing signatures
cause breakage like this.  Please implement one soon.

The patch is for FreeBSD.
