In addition to this, i have noticed another bug in v.dissolve. Although
"layer=-1" is supported, according to manual, it yields a grep error:


--------

$ sh -x /usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/scripts/v.dissolve
input=soils at PERMANENT output=soils2 column=label layer=-1 --o
+ [ -z /usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs ]
+ [ input=soils at PERMANENT != @ARGS_PARSED@ ]
+ basename /usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/scripts/v.dissolve
+ CMDLINE=v.dissolve
+ CMDLINE=v.dissolve "input=soils at PERMANENT"
+ CMDLINE=v.dissolve "input=soils at PERMANENT" "output=soils2"
+ CMDLINE=v.dissolve "input=soils at PERMANENT" "output=soils2" "column=label"
+ CMDLINE=v.dissolve "input=soils at PERMANENT" "output=soils2"
"column=label" "layer=-1"
+ CMDLINE=v.dissolve "input=soils at PERMANENT" "output=soils2"
"column=label" "layer=-1" "--o"
+ export CMDLINE
+ exec g.parser /usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/scripts/v.dissolve
input=soils at PERMANENT output=soils2 column=label layer=-1 --o
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.
ERROR: There is no table connected to this map!

--------

The last ERROR is bogus - the table *is* connected to input map.
