Hello,

I'm not sure if that's your validation or a 5.6.x bug and I should upgrade, but the following shapes throw errors:

> Paste.ee - View Paste 9H9Vx

They seem to be ok when viewed in QGis, but then I'm not really into geo shape data. Please let me know what's wrong about them.

Could anyone help? I can provide them in a different format if needed.

It would be really helpful if you showed how you are adding these shapes and the error messages that you are getting. I tried indexing the first shape in v6.3.1 and it seems to work fine. I didn't test it in v5.6 because support for WKT syntax was added only in v6.2 and you only provided WKT format.
