Here is a summary:

#840	Re: r.reclass NULL

This is a (priority 70) wish. Unless it's killed on the grounds of
being a bad idea, it should probably have its priority lowered.

#1034	r.in.tiff segfaults

Eric reported that this should now be fixed.

#1052	[rsv].proj are crashing

This spawned a long thread, reaching the conclusion that it should now
be fixed. BTW, was m.proj ever fixed?

#1092	v.digit menu broken ?

Markus reported that this was due to synchronisation with d.zoom. 
Can someone who is familiar with v.digit should comment on whether the
existing behaviour should be changed?

#1101	GUI (tcltk) does not run

MacOS X. The reporter subsequently replied that there was a problem
with his Tcl/Tk installation.

Maybe we should add a note that, for "hybrid" platforms such as Cygwin
and MacOS X, Tcl/Tk must be the Unix/X11 version, not a
Windows/Cygwin/MacOS version.

#1127	Subject crash on startup unless Init.sh hand-modified

This was due to a shared library misconfiguration. Closed.

#1136	detailed view of vector maps doesn't work

The reporter followed up with "v.spag then v.support seem to fix
this", so presumably this should be closed?

#1170	m.in.e00 segmentation faults

No idea.
