[GRASS-dev] Vector weirdness @ native windows version

[Radim Blazek]

A large vector with attributes? It could be the problem with
pipe on Windows. DB drivers are using pipes and there is a bug in
implementation of pipe buffer on Windows. IIRC it can fail on
Windows 5.1 (workstation) but it works on 5.2 (server).
Try to run the same on Windows XP server.
