Works for me in Linux.

Sounds like a memory leak, how many points are you displaying?

When you say "GRASS was eating up nearly all the processing power and
available memory" do you mean the d.vect.chart program specifically?

hint:
Try running 'top' in another terminal window. You can watch the
process go haywire and then press "k" and enter its PID to kill it.
'pkill d.vect.chart' might help too. 'xkill' is the most fun of course.
If it fails to die, you can send it stronger signals. see the kill help
pages.
