Subject: v.buffer makes the buffers TWICE the desired size

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 15.07.2005

v.buffer input=border output=border_half_km type=line layer=1 buffer=500

makes the buffer about 1 km wide, though 500m requested

v.buffer input=border output=border_1_km type=line layer=1 buffer=1000

makes it about 2 km wide

Strange. Bug?

The input "border" you can grab here for testing:

There is no .prj file cause GDAL/OGR cannot parse the "sterea" projection yet. In case you need this information:
