 is opening large tables in attribute table manager.
 I haven't been reading the code, still I believe the overflow is caused by
 behaviour of wxGUI as it happened when I was trying to view attribute
 table of vector map. The question is if we should fix v.db.selec as many
 parts of GRASS would fail if abused (just grep for fixed buffer sizes in C
 files to get an idea).
