Does it work OK if you start a monitor first (d.mon x0)? I think, because 
of the way it now uses R_* functions it depends in some way on having some 
valid display output working. From the commandline on Linux I noticed too 
it outputs nothing, but when I set GRASS_RENDER_IMMEDIATE=TRUE first then 
it outputs the list. On Windows the list showed up fine. So I was assuming 
that gis.m must have set GRASS_RENDER_IMMEDIATE=TRUE and thus everything 
was OK. Maybe there's something else on Windows that causes 
GRASS_RENDER_IMMEDIATE=TRUE to be set? Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong 
tree?
