[GRASS5] fixed 2 bugs in GIS Manager GRASS 6

[Michael Barton]

This error is erratic. The most consistent way I've been able to reproduce
it and get v.surf.rst to work is the following:

Start GRASS
Run v.surf.rst from the menu
V.surf.rst fails

Quite GIS Manager but not GRASS
Restart GIS Manager (i.e., run d.m & from the command prompt)
Run v.surf.rst from the menu
V.surf.rst starts

It seems to choke on the line:

Authors: original version -  H.Mitasova, L.Mitas, I. Kosinovsky, D.P. Gerdes
See manual pages for reference and publications

This kind of output regularly causes programs called from the tcltk menus to
fail. I've futzed with it a bit and can't get it to run consistently. Can
you perhaps not have it try to display this to the xterm? It ought to run OK
then.

I went ahead and fixed the other bugs Hamish noted in the menus. I'll try to
get them committed tomorrow. I'll try to see if there is anything else I can
try with v.surf.rst.
