 When starting GRASS in a mapset (work_ethiopia) that has a MASK I get the
 following message:

 "
 GRASS 6.4.0svn (latlon):~ > WARNING: 'cell/MASK' was found in more mapsets
 (also found in
          <work_ethiopia>)
 WARNING: 'cell/MASK' was found in more mapsets (also found in <LUVC>)
 WARNING: Using <MASK at livestock>
 "

 It seems though that it still uses the mask in the opened mapset
 (work_ethiopia). I am getting sometimes similar messages when carrying out
 a r.mapcalc calculation. Again, it seems the correct MASK is used
 nonetheless.

 When opening GRASS in a mapset (e.g., mapset work_ethiopia, but with MASK
 previously removed) without MASK, I get the following message:

 "
 GRASS 6.4.0svn (latlon):~ > WARNING: 'cell/MASK' was found in more mapsets
 (also found in <LUVC>)
 WARNING: Using <MASK at livestock>
 "

 Maybe related to this, when I want to create a MASK in a mapset that has
 not yet a MASK, I get the following error message (in the r.mask window
 this time, previous messages were in the terminal):

 ---
 r.mask input=mask_eth at climate
 'cell/MASK' was found in more mapsets (also found in <LUVC>)
 Using <MASK at livestock>
 ERROR: MASK already found in current mapset. Delete first or overwrite
 ---

 The only way to still create a MASK in this mapset is by using the
 'overwrite' option.

 I am running GRASS 6.4 svn r38795 on Ubuntu 0.04

 Best wishes

 Paulo
