When running v.in.shape on a large-ish shape file (15mb), I get the
following error:

FATAL ERROR: There was a problem importing the map.
GRASS: ~>

That's about 1200 vertices into Shape #55717; one of the previous 
Shapes in the same file had over 2300 verticies and worked ok.

plently of memory and disk space to spare.

If I try v.support on the partial result, I get thousands of 
"PNT_TO_AREA failed:" errors, sequentially up to Category 55716.

input file(s) or further tests available upon request.
