Thanks for the quick response, Artem. I've put the shapefile up at: http://map.nsms.ox.ac.uk/media/temp/pointtest.zip
My system is a Dell Optiplex 755 with intel core2 duo, running ubuntu jaunty jackalope (9.04). I built mapnik with cairo support. I've just done a debug build on an ubuntu hardy 8.0.4.1 server - Dell poweredge quad core. I get the same problem. It's a multipoint shapefile - I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
