Comment (by hamish):

 I think it is a very big call to say that "on XP spaces in GISDBASE don't
 create errors". I will guarantee there is somewhere in the code which
 doesn't quote a path name and so will have problems with a space in one,
 regardless of OS.

 Before labeling things as "on Vista", I'd like to know if someone else can
 confirm that? And if so, is this really a wx for Win bug not a GRASS bug?

 {{{
 ..\..\src\msw\listbox.cpp(390) in wxListBox::DoSetSelection(): invalid
 index in wxListBox::SetSelection
 }}}

 or did we pass that a truncated entry?


 Also, I don't really see the point in leaving a bug report open for a
 vague things like "may cause problems". We know that, but it's something
 that is very hard to systematically audit, so we just have to wait for
 specific bug reports to roll in..


 2c,
