Description:
After importing a chunk of GIS data into a MyISAM table covered by DISABLE and 
ENABLE KEYS I can't insert more data into the table. 
 
CREATE TABLE geo ( 
  geoobjid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 
  line LINESTRING NOT NULL, 
  kind ENUM('po', 'pp', 'rr', 'dr', 'rd', 'ts', 'cl') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'po', 
  name VARCHAR(32), 
  PRIMARY KEY (geoobjid), 
  SPATIAL KEY (line), 
  INDEX (kind), 
  INDEX (name) 
) engine=myisam; 
 
ALTER TABLE geo DISABLE KEYS; 
INSERT INTO geo (name, kind, line) VALUES 
  ("A", "pp", GeomFromText("POINT(62.983333 9.750000)")), 
  ... ; 
ALTER TABLE geo ENABLE KEYS; 
/* updating indexes */ 
 
/* while updating indexes */ 
show processlist; 
... | Repair by sorting | ALTER TABLE geo ENABLE KEYS | 
 
/* alter table finished */ 
check table geo; 
| gis.geo | check | status   | OK       | 
 
 
INSERT INTO geo (name, kind, line) VALUES ("austria", "dn", 
GeomFromText('LINESTRING(14.9906 48.9887,14.9946 48.9904,14.9947 48.9916)')); 
ERROR 1034 (HY000) at line 603: Incorrect key file for table 'geo'; try to repair it 
 
check table geo; 
... | error    | Found key at page 23687168 that points to record outside datafile | 
 

How to repeat:
Import
