Still we don't know how the thresh works for pruning.

You don't know how it works. Then how do you know how it doesn't work :) ?

Getting back to my original post.

The line:

$ echo "L 4 1
	 10 10
	 20 10
	 30 10
	 40 10
	 1     1" | v.in.ascii -n out=line format=standard

Imagine it as:

x-o1-o2-x

"x" - node
"o" - vertex
"-" - 5 length units

$ v.clean input=line output=line_pruned type=line tool=prune thresh=0.04

removes o1,o2. Anything bigger does the same. Anything smaller doensn't
remove any.

Why? Should it be like that or not?
