[Patton, Eric]

Thanks, Markus, I'll check into it in more detail when I get back from the
field.

Maybe nothing (not sure):

I don't see any answer from Radim. 

with
g.gisenv set="DEBUG=2" 
you should see some related output how the file is parsed.

In the code I don't see that side_offset modifies offset1 or
offset2 (which it probably should).
