[GRASS5] [bug #2927] (grass) d.what.vect - broken pipe

[Michael Barton]

This has been broken on all Mac OSX platforms for at least 18 months. It
seems to be variably broken on some Linux platforms. I don't know about
Windows/Cygwin platforms. I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but it
would be nice to get it fixed. So far, apparently no one has been able to
clearly find the source of this bug to fix it. I've seen discussion that
adding a 'sleep' function to someplace might help, but for some reason this
has not be implemented (perhaps it breaks something else?).
