I don't think this is necessary.

Please also try it with the spearfish demo location.

It is quite probable that this will probably not work because of the 
current bug in the dbf driver. Although AFAICT this should not cause a 
windows dll error...

Could you try creating an sqlite table with the same data and use 
v.in.db on that ?
You have to make sure that the sqlite executable (and I think library) 
are in your path.
You can set the PATH in the grass63.bat file:
set PATH=%PATH%;PathToSqliteBin;PathToSqliteLib

Try setting it in the grass63.bat file:

set GDAL_DATA=

But is this a GRASS variable or a GDAL variable ?
