Public bug reported:

http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.0/index.html
Description:
* SQLite is a popular DBMS, simple, robust, easy to use and really
lightweight
* each SQLite database is simply a file; you can freely copy it, compress
it, send it on a LAN or WEB with no complication at all
They are also portables; the same database file will work on Windows,
Linux, MacOs etc
* the SpatiaLite extension enables SQLite to support spatial data too [aka
GEOMETRY], in a way conformant to OpenGis specifications
o supports standard WKT and WKB formats
o implements SQL spatial functions such as AsText(), GeomFromText(),
Area(), PointN() and alike
o the complete set of OpenGis functions is supported via GEOS, this
comprehending sophisticated spatial analysis functions such as Overlaps(),
Touches(), Contains() and so on
o supports full Spatial metadata along the OpenGis specifications
o supports importing and exporting from / to shapefiles
o supports coordinate reprojection via PROJ.4 and EPSG geodetic
parameters dataset
o implements a true Spatial Index based on the still experimental
SQLite's RTree extension
* the VirtualShape extension enables SQLite to access shapefiles as VIRTUAL
TABLEs
o you can then perform standard SQL queries on external shapefiles,
with no need for importing or converting them
