That was also true in my case, so I ran some tests, importing vector 
files with v.in.dxf then exporting them with v.out.ascii.  They 
consistently have a blank line after the first line of the header.

The problem appears to be that when v.in.dxf assigns the organization 
name as "GRASS Development Team" on line 44 of make_header.c that it 
includes a newline in the string.  The newline is stored in the binary 
vector file header and when v.out.ascii prints the header it adds 
another newline.  So we have a blank line.

I removed the newline in the string and it works fine, but I haven't set 
up CVS write access yet, so the problem still needs to be fixed.
