Hi

I have a problem with generating shape file in qgis.
When at grass vector layer I press right mouse button and select "save as
shapefile" qgis crashes and in terminal appears this text:
-------------------------------------------------------------

QgsGrass::vectors()
qgis: /home/timlinux/dev/cpp/qgis-0.9.0/src/core/qgsvectorfilewriter.cpp:222: bo ol QgsVectorFileWriter::addFeature(QgsFeature&): Assertion @0 && "invalid varian t type"' failed.
Aborted

I've addressed this issue in part with the attached patch in that it should fail more gracefully now with a suitable error message describing the nature of the problem and no longer performing an assert. Since we are in string freeze for 0.9.1, I will apply this after the release.
