Thank you for the report.  We're seeing a lot of region related errors
of late.  This is also the case with the v.drape bug (#4606) reported on
Saturday.  In the case of v.drape, the error is an invalid row fetch,
but it doesn't make sense.  The vector is entirely within the raster
region, except the western edge.

To the devel list:
Using 'g.region vect=name' seems to remedy the problem in all cases
encountered so far.

Two questions:
- What happened before Friday that yields this bizarre behavior?  I
don't see anything overtly obvious in my log since June 26 (no major
related changes in lib/*).

- In light of that, is this something more long-standing that people
just happen to be testing or can someone put a firm date on the change?
