Since my last query, I've made a lot of progress. Thanks for all your help.
I was trying out the use of mapnik for rendering OSM data, as documented at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mapnik, and am having trouble with coastlines and world boundaries. The maps look fine when I give a small bounding box that does not include a country boundary or a coastline. If I use a large bounding box, however, the coastlines/country boundaries do not show. Looks like it is reading the shapefiles fine as the following debug snippet shows. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
