Describe the Problem

I am attempting to convert a shapefile to a mask. I am able to create the masks successfully with gen_vx_mask, but the metadata reading programs error while trying to read the file. This is not a bug that is impacting any functionality to produce the masks, only the metadata for the masks.

gen_vx_mask produces a mask file if given the proper metadata

gen_vx_mask CONUS_MASK.nc bytemap_marine_poly_NAD83.shp lwx_w.nc -type shape -shapeno 0 -name KLWX

gis_dump_shx returns the expected result

gis_dump_dbf returns a memory error

bytemap_marine_poly_lambert.dbf

*** Error in `gis_dump_dbf': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0000000001bfc300 ***

gis_dump_shp returns correct results until the last record. It appears to try to access a record beyond what is in the file, and fails to read the header for that non-existent record.

Expected Behavior

gis_dump_dbf should return the metadata of the shapefile that can be used in conjunction with gen_vx_mask to produce a mask from a shape file

Correct behavior can be seen by running this command in the same directory provided below (runs on the AWIPS WFO shapefile)

gis_dump_dbf w_10nv20.dbf
