Wouldn't suprise me. A little bit ago I tried running the shapefile
through ogr2ogr, and it failed with a similar error. I'll try
instrumenting the code.

If I could get GDAL to compile with expat support I could try
converting the kml file with ogr2ogr, but I hit an error compiling
when I have expat support turned on. :-( Oh well, I guess that is a
complaint for another list.

Thanks
