Thank's a lot Radim.  I ran a test.  The new v.transform read and wrote 
the binary files correctly, but died on a segmentation fault after 
writing the output file.  Is it supposed to also transform the dig_atts 
file?  It did not.

I'll see if I can find that set again, or another that does the same 
thing.  Perhaps Carl can find the set that created the problem for him.
