As others get superb results from these programs, on this evidence my
only suggestion is that
the problem lies in the specific shape files. If you can post them

that other users will be willing to check.
I've already qualified for Top Curmudgeon 2013 on this list, but
you've yet to explain where these user-written programs come from!
