Ok, the error message was updated 1 March, and improved since then; the
last change to it was 5 days ago.

No, it is likely that error message was bogus (the read() call did fail,
but the given "why" part was ~random/wrong).  (devs: into 6.0.3 ?)

you get this when segment_put() fails for some reason in
raster/r.watershed/seg/cseg_put.c
lib/segement/put.c

i.e. you got it because you got the other error message first.



For now try r.watershed without the -m flag. This bypasses all the
segmentation code. (but doesn't help fix the bug)
