Subject: Could not import a NB Double Stereographic shapefile - used EPSG #2036

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: Grass 6.1cvs 18-03-2006

I downloaded this shapefile: 

https://www.web11.snb.ca/topo/aadb/shape/nbaa_5000_ranb.zip

The shapefile is in New Brunswick Double Stereographic,  NAD83 CSRS98 (Canadian Spatial Reference System 1998)

This shapefile comes from a municipal government site, so is highly likely that the shapefile is in the projection is says it is. Or at least it's not suspect at this point.

Reading the .prj file shows that the projection is indeed New Brunswick Double Stereographic. I created a new Location using EPSG code #2036, which seemed to match the shapefile's projection parameter-for-parameter. Imported shapefile into Location using:

v.in.ogr dsn=shapefile_directory output=nbaa_5000_ranb layer=nbaa_5000_ranb

and received a seg fault, with no other error information. Importing the shapefile using the 'location' parameter in v.in.ogr also gives a seg fault, with no feedback.

Normally I would think that the problem is a projection mismatch, but I can't detect any differences here. ?

Additional info: my 'dsn' parameter is 62 characters long. Does this exceed the maximum allowed for this parameter, perhaps?
