Subject: v.out.ogr forces REAL on an INTEGER column

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: cvs 23.08.05

Although my 'CAT' column is INTEGER...

db.describe table=poz_fault_patch_cut_pt_extr driver=dbf database=$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/ 
table:poz_fault_patch_cut_pt_extr
description:
insert:yes
delete:yes
ncols:4

column:CAT
description:
type:INTEGER
len:11
scale:0
precision:10
default:0
nullok:yes
select:yes
update:yes

<snip>

...after I export the file with v.out.ogr, 'CAT' column becomes REAL...

[trawiarz at quercus ~]$ ogrinfo -al -so poz_fault_patch_cut_pt_extr/poz_fault_patch_cut_pt_extr.shp
INFO: Open of `poz_fault_patch_cut_pt_extr/poz_fault_patch_cut_pt_extr.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

<snip>

CAT: Real (11.0)
WYS: Real (24.15)
SM: Real (24.15)
WYS_MULT: Real (24.15)


I expected "CAT: Integer (11.0)" actually.
