[GRASS-dev] Critical bug in grass - deletion of mapset experienced.

[Cedric Shock]

Fellow grass developers and CVS users,

Beware. There is a bug in CVS that has caused loss of a complete mapset (and 
possibly location). There is a not insignificant chance that this might have 
been caused by the startup scripts. Therefore I suggest you refrain from 
using recent (past few weeks?) CVS versions with important datasets until 
this issue is soundly resolved.

A detailed explanation of the circumstances are listed in bug 4426:

Hopefully we can ferret this out quickly, reproduce the bug, and audit the 
related code. But for now I'm just going to go to bed.
