[GRASS5] VASKLIB problem

[bakerwl]

Hello,

Still struggling with the VASKLIB problem.  I have now 
isolated the problem.  It is in my code that uses the
VASKLIB.  If I manually enter values into the array
that is filled by the VASKLIB code, instead of letting
the VASKLIB code do it, the program runs fine.

It appears that the VASKLIB code does not let go of 
control of the screen once it is done, as subsequent
attempts by later code to write to the screen fail.
The cursor is hung in the upper left corner after this
VASKLIB code is done.

I wonder if there is someone familiar with the VASKLIB
who could look at my code (attached) to see if there
is anything obvious wrong?  The code is pretty short.

I am not an expert programmer, so someone with more
experience might be able to see the problem easily!
