Subject: v.in.sites for larger site files does not finish

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.7 CVS 20040111

v.in.sites has a memory problem for data sets that include 500000 points or more
and have more than x,y. The problem is similar to the one reported for v.in.ascii.
For 280000 points it does the job, although it takes over 30 minutes,
but it is possible to see where it gets stuck:
