According to http://www.dbase.com/Knowledgebase/INT/db7_file_fmt.htm , if data record starts with asterisk, it is considered to be deleted. When trying to use the library, I experienced such a problem with my shapefiles. Apparently included test file cntry06 does not contain such records, so reading never failed.
