Hi Tom,
This is fixed now. The problem was that that one shapefile had one multi-part 
feature which is created as a UnionSet. Normally the features are created as  a 
MapSet. The MapSet is used to hold the attribute values from the dbf file. The 
code assumed that all features were MapSet objects  -thus the class cast 
exception.

I am checking in a fix right now.
