Subject: db.select: fails for dbf tables from external mapsets

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 2006-02-13

When db.select is run for a vector layer table from external mapset it fails:

1. We are in mapset 'wlasnosc'
$ g.gisenv
GISDBASE=/home/grassdata
LOCATION_NAME=caves_utm33_se
MAPSET=wlasnosc
GRASS_GUI=text

2. Need info about table poziomice_ln in mapset topo, but error:
$ db.select poziomice_ln at topo
dbmi: Protocol error
dbmi: Protocol error

3. Setting database expicitely doesn't work too:
$ db.select poziomice_ln database=$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/topo/dbf/
DBMI-DBF driver error:
Cannot open dbf database: //topo/dbf/

No way.
