[GRASS5] [bug #2865] (grass) v.in.ogr fails many times importing shp files

[Michael Barton]

Lorenzo,

I was able to try v.in.ogr your 18 December 2004 build of GRASS 5.7 cvs for
Mac OSX. It worked fine for me.

I tried it with a shape file of points in a latlon region in Arizona (USA)
and with a shape file of polygons (always messy because ArcView is
non-topological) in a UTM (European Datum 1950) region in Spain. In both
cases, the vector shapes and attribute tables seemed to import correctly. I
just did a spot check, but the attribute table seemed to be correctly linked
to the vector shapes in both cases. In both cases, the attribute tables have
quite a few fields of diverse data types.
