v.digit memory faults and core dumps

[grass]

lately we have been encountering a few problems running v.digit
at least two or three times a day it will get a memory fault error
and core dump.
The file is rather intensive  with a lot of polygons and label points 
but the dig file is only 1.03 megs and the _plus and _att files are considerably
smaller than that.
the machine that these files are on currently has approx 230 megs of swap
and ample disk space for the dig files.
is there anything we can do to help alleviate these problems.

Thanks for your time
