(I know v.info is from GRASS 5.3. I just wanted to show what type of vector 
I am dealing with.)

v.buffer in=drag out=drag.buff type=area buff=500

Areas buffers ...  100%


Building parts of topology ...
1 primitives registered
Number of nodes     :   1
Number of primitives:   1
Number of points    :   0
Number of lines     :   0
Number of boundaries:   1
Number of centroids :   0
Number of areas     :   -
Number of isles     :   -
Snapping boundaries ...
All vertices:  6115
Registered points (unique coordinates):  1725
Nodes marked as anchor     :  1723
Nodes marked to be snapped :     2
Snapped vertices :  1465
New vertices     :    17
Breaking boundaries ...
Intersections:     0


The command ran for 2 hours and did not manage to buffer the vector. What 
have I done wrong? Why did the v.buffer show no area if I converted an area 
vector to GRASS 5.7?

Thanks, Miha Staut
