[GRASS5] Trouble with r.watershed -m

[Ludwig M Brinckmann]

It is the precompiled version 13-02-2006 for cygwin.

I have figured the message is a crypted way of telling me I am out of 
diskspace....

(Apologies for the late reply, I am out in the sticks at the moment with 
little access to the internet...had hoped to be able to compare my 
calculated stream-network with reality on the ground...)
