[GRASS-dev] [grass-code issues][279] Define location with EPSG codes hangs grass

[Michael Barton]

This is a known problem. Some EPSG codes don't have quite enough information
to properly define a project. The underlying GRASS module then attempts to
"ask" the user for more information, assuming that the user is running the
module from an interactive xterminal. Because the user is NOT running the
module from an interactive xterminal, there is no way for the user to know
that more information is needed or to respond. This is currently being
fixed.
