Hi Stephan,

I tried:

export LC_NUMERIC=C
v.in.ogr europe_countries_LAEA.shp out=europe_countries --o
WARNUNG: Die Vektorkarte 'europe_countries' existiert bereits und wird
         überschrieben
...
WARNUNG: Spaltenname 'cat' wurde in 'cat_' geändert.
Importiere 3356 Objekte der Karte...
Speicherzugriffsfehler


Does not help... but using
export LC_ALL=C
it works (which was not needed before my operating system update).

At least I have a 1 line workaround :-)
