OK, my mistake - the column should contain *costs*. That might be
the inverse of the speed limit, not the speed limit itself:

e.g.
# define traveling costs as inverse of speed limit:
v.db.update myroads col=forward val=1/50

I have update the example in CVS. Please suggest if you have better
ideas.
