Thanks for the fixes.

I just tested with HEAD and the polygon code no longer crashes.

Next I wanted to test with a map with lines and no fill. Unfortunately 
plmapline also draws filled polygons. I did this test with the same 
shapefiles [1] as the original test.

I assume it is caused by the code: src/plmap.c:324
     if ( shapetype == SHPT_NULL ) 

     { 

         shapetype = fileShapeType; 

     } 



The attached patch lets plmapline draw lines instead of filled polygons.

I tested HEAD+patch and the coastal lines no longer disappear, so that 
issue is also fixed.

I will do more testing next week, thanks again for the fixes.
