I think IDL's shapefile library expects there to be a valid DBF
attribute entry for every entity in the shapefile. If you don't need
to convey anything useful in the DBF, just create an attribute called
"ID" and dump a sequentially increasing integer in there for each
entity (e.g., first entity gets 0, second gets 1, etc.). You'll have
to use IDLffShape's ::addAttribute and ::setAttributes methods to do
this.
