The 53027 project is defined in data/esri_extra.wkt, this file is
removed from the gdal source because it's licensing is problematic. See:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721343
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745702

Because we cannot distribute these unclearly licensed files, you'll need
to download them yourself.

https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/tags/1.10.1/gdal/data/esri_extra.wkt

I had intended to create a script download and extract the non-free
files, but never got around to implementing it. I'm also unsure if such
a download & install package would be acceptable even for the non-free
repository. So for now you'll need to download these data files yourself.

Does the crash still occur when you've manually downloaded & installed
the esri_extra.wkt file? (You need to install it in
/usr/share/gdal/1.10/)

Kind Regards,

Bas
