[GRASS-user] digitising area crashed GRASS

[Shane Litherland]

Hi Martin,

the wxGUI digitiser. I've been brave lately and given it some
workouts ;-)

alas, tonight, i've had more dramas with it...

Trying to use the 'digitise area' tool for a separate vector has crashed
grass for a second (third, fourth, fifth..) time in a few days. it made
the boundary but not the centroid (I determined that upon re-opening)
and lost topology but seemed to rebuild ok. tried tool again, just the
same way, and it worked with no crash to digitise two more areas, then
crashed on the third.
The next time I opened GRASS to do same process, it crashed on first
area again.

digitising a boundary and manually adding a centroid doesn't seem to
cause me this grief.

Any more sleuthing required at my end?

regards,
shane.
