Description

Save as to shapefile for postgis layers with tool long column names doens't work.

1. Load a postgis layer with a column that has more then 10 charactes in its name (e.g. archive_date)
 2. save as esri shapefile
 3. The following error appears:
Export to vector file failed.
Error: created field archive_date not found (OGR error: 
Normalized/laundered field name: 'archive_date' to 'archive_da')
4. The created shapefile is empty

The expected truncation from archive_date to archive_da in the resulting shapefile works (the shp, shx,dbf is created). The dbf shows the truncated archive_da but no features are exported.

I get same error on several computers, using either 1.8 version or the 1.9 alpha.

Curiously, it does save some features: "Only 8553 of 8580 features written".

Um, you probably get a different error message. This ticket is specifically about fieldnames that start conflicting, when they are truncated.
